Although individual instructors or departments should have wide discretion in their choice of textbooks and other course materials, frequent changes should be discouraged. Before a faculty-authored textbook or other course material may be prescribed or sold for the use of students at the University, the request must be submitted to the President for his approval and inclusion in the next regular docket for the Board of Regents. A form for such request is for sale at University Supply and Mail Service.
Authorization is effective only to the end of the fiscal year for which approval is given.
