Codification Committee
The Codification Committee examines the Board Policy Manual and the University Regulations,
identifies areas of concern, recommends further review, and develops and recommends
changes to those documents. The Committee will assure that changes proposed to the
Board Policy Manual and the University Regulations are in the appropriate format.
The Committee may propose changes to the Board Policy Manual and the University Regulations
by submitting them to the Faculty Senate for action.
The Committee shall include three senators appointed by the Senate chair and confirmed
by the Senate. Those senators may continue to serve on the Committee after their Senate
terms of office expire. An additional three members shall be elected from the faculty
at large. One member of administration shall be appointed annually by the President.
The term of office of all faculty members appointed by the Senate or elected shall
be three calendar years beginning July 1 of the year selected.
