with members of the faculty, Council of Deans and the Provost.

is returned to the Faculty Senate.
After completing this
process, the policy or procedure is officially entered into the Graduate
Policies and Procedures Manual by the Dean of Graduate Studies. Compliance
is monitored by the academic deans, the Dean of Graduate Studies and
the Faculty Senate Graduate Council.
