IRHR Program
Governance and Administration
The doctoral program in Industrial Relations and Human Resources (IRHR)
is governed by the IRHR graduate faculty within the guidelines established
by the Graduate School – New Brunswick (GS – NB). The
graduate faculty nominates a graduate director for approval by the
deans of SMLR and GS – NB. The graduate faculty also nominates
and elects a Ph.D. policy committee, whose membership is structured
as follows:
- The IRHR graduate program director serves as
an ex officio member.
- Five members of the IRHR graduate faculty who
are currently active in publishing refereed articles and books
serve two-year terms. Faculty membership on the committee provides
for equal representation of the two departments within SMLR. Each
spring term, an election is held for two new members. The Dean
of the School of Management and Labor Relations administers the
election process. The Ph.D. policy committee assists in this process
by creating the slate of candidates.
- One IRHR doctoral student serves a one-year
term. Current doctoral students administer the election process
and elect the student member in September.
The Ph.D. policy committee is responsible for all aspects of policy
development and implementation for the IRHR doctoral program. Policy
issues include, but are not limited to, recruiting, admissions, curriculum
development, evaluation, rules, regulations, examinations, research
seminars, research support, assistantships, professional development,
and job placement. The graduate director posts policy statements on
the program's web page, and informs students that they are responsible
for consulting this information as needed. On behalf of the committee,
the graduate director also makes regular reports to the faculty at
schoolwide faculty meetings, which are normally held each semester.
