|
- Shared governance procedures should be operating throughout the University.
- The President, Vice Presidents, Associate Vice Presidents, Deans, and Department Chairs should ensure shared governance procedures are operational within their units.
- In matters relating to budgets, mission, and other priorities for the University, administration should play a leading role, with significant input from staff, faculty, and students.
- In such cases where an administrative decision has been made which effects the University body as a whole, such decisions and the reasons for such actions should be communicated in writing to the appropriate governance body (i.e., Staff Senate, Faculty Senate, Student Senate, Graduate Student Council).
- Meetings should be held on a regular basis and at regularly scheduled intervals (bimonthly: 3:00 p.m. second Thursday of the month).
- Continued efforts should be made to solicit information and feedback from the staff, faculty, and students concerning the operation of the governance body, its members, and its decisions.
- In those cases where shared governance is not operating to its fullest, remedies initiated by the governance committee should be sought.
- Staff, faculty, and students should continue to exercise the right of free speech regarding all governance matters without fear of recrimination.
