Program Oversight

The Financial Aid Office oversees the program pursuant to established guidelines and the directions of the Program Oversight Committee. The Program Oversight Committee consists of three faculty members with a commitment to public interest law, a representative of the Career Development Office, and a member of the Public Legal Services Society (PLSS) or the SBA President, if PLSS ceases to be a chartered student organization.

The Committee's responsibilities include:

1. Acting as a consultant to the Financial Aid Office regarding any problems which might arise in the administration of the program. This includes interpreting and promulgating program rules and regulations to avoid potential abuses of the program.

2. Considering positions not listed in the employment eligibility provisions as qualifying for admission to the program.

3. Reviewing prevailing economic conditions, the size of the endowment fund, and predicted requests in order to determine annual allocations and project future expenditures.

4. Reviewing grant applications and making awards.
