GENERAL POLICY REPORT #43

December 12, 2008

The items listed below will be considered to have the necessary faculty approval unless a petition requesting further consideration of them is signed by five faculty members and submitted to the chair of the Faculty Council within 14 calendar days after the December 12, 2008, date of circulation. As a rule, if no petition is received within 14 days, or by December 28, 2008, the report would be submitted to the president for approval and transmittal to the regents, if regents' action is required (HOWEVER, due to the extensive Christmas break, the deadline will be extended to January 9, 2009). If a petition is received, the report will be referred to the Faculty Council. On referred items, Faculty Council may: (1) affirm the action and report it to a meeting of the university faculty, (2) amend the action and report it to a meeting of the university faculty, or (3) rescind the action.
