The process for populating institutional standing committees is through recommendations. The recommending party may differ according to the position. Recommendations for appointments may derive from either of the following levels and is stated in the faculty handbook - chairpersons, directors, deans, the vice president or the president. In all cases, the president has the authority to accept or reject a nomination by any of these entities.
