Faculty and Academic Administration Working Group

Committee Description: This committee will review a variety of issues related to the faculty at UT Dallas including demonstrating that it had an adequate faculty as well as a faculty that had members qualified to teach in the areas they were assigned. As a part of this review process, this committee will review the University's credentialing process, which includes the verification of foreign credentials. Additionally, the transcripts of every faculty member who received a graduate degree at an institution outside the United States will be reviewed by an outside agency to ensure the credentials were equivalent to similar credentials earned at accredited universities in the U.S.
