...understand how the charge can be made, given the membership of the PBH Faculty Committee. But the most irrefutable response is to point out that the PBH Faculty Committee meets monthly with the executive officers of PBH; that, in addition, at least nine of the members consult quite regularly with individual programs, committee chairmen, the officers, and the graduate secretary.
