Resolution Proposal

The Resolution Proposal Form has been submitted by the commission chair to the University Council Cabinet as a concept proposal prior to the writing of the resolution.

University Council Cabinet Review

University Council Cabinet reviews draft notice to determine if the resolution falls within the commission's purview.

With Committee for Development and Approval

As some committees report to the University Council Cabinet and not directly to a commission, resolutions from these bodies are handled differently. If the Cabinet does not assign the work to a commission, development and approval of the resolution is assigned back to the committee before moving directly to a 1st reading at University Council.

Commission 1st Reading and Sent to Senates for Comment

Resolution can be discussed by the commission, but no action will be taken. Senates are given an opportunity to provide recommendations or comments regarding proposed resolution. Comments must be received no later than one week after a commission approves a resolution. Senates can waive the right to provide comment.
