The University Graduate School Board has a dual role, operating in part as equivalent to a Faculty Board, dealing with matters related to the administration of research education, and in part as a committee of Academic Board, advising on and assessing proposals for research degrees. The Board also works closely with the Research and Research Training Committee to refer to the Committee issues and implications of research training policy matters
