Committees provide recommendations for action by the Board. Typically, standing committees have the following responsibilities:
- recommend action on matters where the Board has reserved authority to itself as outlined in Board of Regents Policy: Reservation and Delegation of Authority (pdf) and other Board policies;
- provide governance oversight on topics within the committee's purview;
- review and make recommendations on relevant new and existing Board policies;
- receive reports on policy-related issues affecting University departments and units;
- receive information items; and
- review other items placed on the agenda by the Board chair in consultation with the president and the Board vice chair.
Additional information on committees can be found in Board of Regents Policy: Board Operations and Agenda Guidelines (pdf)
