Provisions
for Appeal to the Board of Regents
The constitutional and statutory provisions constitute
the Board of Regents as the ultimate managing authority
of the University and as such the Board may consider
appeals from faculty members, administrative personnel,
other employees and students as to the findings
or holdings of any University judicial body, grievance
or tenure committee, supervisory authority or similarly
situated group or individual. (The procedure
for appeals by students is provided in the Student
Conduct Code). Such appeals shall in all cases
be made to the board through the President who shall
present the request for an appeal within a reasonable
time to the Secretary of the Board with recommendations
or comments as he may deem appropriate. In
the event the Board or a member of the Board shall
receive a direct request for an appeal it shall
be the regular procedure of the Board to refer said
request for an appeal to the President for his recommendations
or comments before making any determination regarding
said appeal. An appellant shall be required
to follow and complete any pre-established administrative
procedure before the Board shall give any consideration
to the appeal.
The granting of appeals to the Board of
Regents shall be discretionary with the
Board. There
shall be no appeal or hearing before the
Board as a matter of right and the Board
may refuse to consider an appeal without comment. Any
such refusal by the Board to hear an appeal shall
be considered to give full force and effect to the
previous determinations in the matter at issue.
