From academic affairs and curriculum development to faculty senate subcommittees and administrative advisory boards, GSA representatives bring the graduate student perspective to the decision-making tables that shape university policy. By serving on these committees, the GSA ensures that the needs, concerns, and interests of the graduate student body are not only heard but meaningfully considered in the decisions that affect their academic and professional lives. In this way, the GSA serves as the collective voice of URI&#8217;s graduate students, bridging the gap between the student community and university leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">University Committees:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grad Council<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public Safety Advisory Committee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accessibility Task Force<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joint Committee on Academic Program Review and Outcomes Assessment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IT Governance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental Health Task Force<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Honorary Degree Committee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Athletics Advisory Board<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students\u2019 Rights and Responsibilities Committee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>University Conduct Board, including Hearing Panels 5.74.20<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joint Committee on Online and Distance Learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic Appeals Board<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faculty Senate Committees:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Committee for Research and Creative Activities (CRCA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Committee on Technology and Infrastructure (CTI)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constitution, By-Laws, and University Manual Committee (CBUM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Curriculum and Standards Committee (CASC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General Education Committee (GEC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic Calendar Committee (ACC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service and Community Life Committee (SCLC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teaching, Advising, and Assessment Committee (TAAC)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<section class=\"cl-wrapper cl-panel-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-panel  \"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2135\/638776e21492cb001d81ab27.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><article>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Graduate Student Concern Form<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Anonymously or with your name attached submit details, evidence, or questions related to your concerns as a graduate student.
