The
structural basis of the collaborative relationship between the anchor
institution or department and its partners is the cluster. Clusters
are a formal, cooperative arrangement involving different institutions
and/or departments working together to:
- decide
what is needed in new faculty,
- give
students opportunities to experience faculty life in multiple institutional
settings, and
- increase
awareness among faculty in both the doctoral university and partner
institutions about changing expectations for faculty.
In
each cluster, there is a steering committee that makes thoughtful decisions
regarding the above issues. A representative from each institution or
department must be on the steering committee. In addition, there should
also be at least one doctoral student representative on the committee.
