Employee Tuition Benefits for Faculty Pursuing Degrees-in-Course
The Committee proposed the Council request that the Office of the Provost develop on behalf of the Board of Trustees procedures for the implementation of University Bylaw 81 (c) of December 14, 2016, that give reasoned justification for the policy of prohibiting faculty study toward degrees-in-course and the grounds for seeking the Board’s exceptional permission for such study. The resolution passed on April 25, 2017.
