IRB Membership

The IRB committee consists of the Associate Provost, who chairs the committee, and as required by law, at least five *members with varying backgrounds including a Kenyon College administrator, at least one member of the community unaffiliated with the College, faculty members representing academic divisions/programs. No two faculty members may be from the same department and the IRB must include at least one member of each sex, whenever the composition of the faculty makes it possible

Members of the IRB are appointed by the Provost with input from the Associate Provost and the chairs of departments and programs. The community member is appointed by the President. To assure an element of continuity in the work of the IRB, faculty members will normally serve a three year term.
