There is some concern that our school's IRB are recommended by our deans, directors, and leaders of our constituency groups (i.e., the presidents of our staff and faculty associations) and ultimately appointed by our College President. We'd like to know how other schools identify their IRB members. Thanks very much! Julie Julie A.
