board of governors policy manual
Among the powers and responsibilities of the Board are the duties to "formulate broad policy to implement the goals and objectives established and adopted by the Board of Governors from time to time and to adopt standards and require enforcement and to exercise general supervision over all public higher education in the state and over independent higher education in the state as provided [by law]."
This policy manual contains the policies, regulations and directives that guide both the Board and the public institutions of higher education in carrying out their responsibilities.
- The manual is divided into five sections: Board of Governors, Finance, Academic, Students, and Personnel.
- Each policy or regulation indicates the date of adoption, date(s) of
amendment(s) and legal citation when appropriate. Initials follow each
date indicating which board adopted and/or amended the document:
"BT" refers to the former Board of Trustees of State Colleges (pre-1969)
"BR" refers to the former Board of Regents (7/1/69 - 6/30/81)
"BG" refers to the Board of Governors for Higher Education (post-7/1/81) - Each section is subdivided into individual policies. The pages are numbered and are preceded by the first letter of the section title, (e.g., Board of Governors: B-1.0).
