Decision-Making

• The University Senate is the

representative body of the faculty

members as defined in the constitution of

the Senate which is in ACD 112-01.

• The Senate makes recommendations on a

wide range of matters involving policy and

curriculum.

• The President decides but can and does

delegate to the Provost and others.

Decision-Making

• Issues are not neatly placed in one office

or another. As a typical matter, academic

policies are approved by the Provost.

• Deans may decide on policies within their

colleges/schools/institute in keeping with

ACD policy and any consultative

mechanism they have in the college for

faculty engagement.

Decision-Making

• Colleges can decide on hiring one year

academic faculty and staff as well as that funded

by external sources such as grants. Colleges

need to have an approved hiring plan to hire

multi year and tenure track faculty. Within

budget provisions and policy, deans can decide

to purchase things as needed, put on events,

etc. to advance their unit.

• Dept Chairs/School Directors have authority

from the dean and will have unit bylaws to guide.

structures and procedures between
