Purpose
University Council (UC) shall be the Shared Governance committee that will make final
recommendations to the university president. Recommendations will come to the UC from
the provost or the other Shared Governance committees.
The UC may approve, amend or disapprove the recommendations it receives. Should a
recommendation be amended substantially or disapproved, it will be returned to the
referring committee for reconsideration. The committee may amend the recommendation
as requested or refer it back to UC with comments. All matters forwarded by UC constitute
recommendations to the president. All final decisions on any such changes remain within
the purview of the president.
Meetings are held monthly, usually on the second Thursday of the month.
