University Council

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.
