Usually discharge a committee under only three circumstances. Which of the following is not one of the circumstances?

• A. When the advisor(s) disagree with the committee
• B. When the committee fails to report
• C. When the committee is unable to proceed due to lack of progress
• D. When the committee has completed its task and reported

Answer: (A)

Discharging a committee is tied to what happens with the committee’s work. The typical triggers are that the committee has finished the task and reported its findings, or the committee has not reported at all, or the committee cannot proceed because there’s no progress. The advisor’s disagreement, while potentially important for guidance, isn’t a formal basis to discharge the committee. Therefore, the option describing the advisor disagreeing with the committee is not one of the discharge circumstances.
