B. Budget and Strategic Planning With respect to budgetary and financial matters, the projected budget of University funds will be formulated by the administration with faculty participation, publicized to both the faculty and public, and then reviewed by faculty representatives, chosen by way of accepted faculty governance procedures. At least half of the committee will come from the faculty, chosen by way of accepted faculty governance procedures. The committee will receive full and timely input from the Faculty Senate and regularly report back to the Faculty Senate. University budgets and records of University expenditures will continue to be open to all members of the faculty and the public, as required by law. D. Faculty Representation Representation of the faculty at all levels of University governance will be carried out by members of the faculty who have been elected directly by their faculty peers or selected by a committee on committees or other faculty body which has been elected directly by the faculty at the University, college, or unit level.
Faculty members have the responsibility to participate in shared governance.
In work assignments and performance reviews, their participation shall be recognized as service and given the weight necessary to ensure the success of shared governance. E. Academic and Academic Personnel Policies Academic and curricular policies rest primarily with the faculty. The creation and elimination of programs and units, policies relating to student affairs and admissions, faculty personnel policy, and the guidelines on faculty and administration salary policy also are among those included within the jurisdiction of shared governance. An initial proposal to change academic or academic personnel policy may come from any source, but the formal consideration and development of such policy changes shall always be undertaken through shared governance arrangements. If a substantial minority of any shared governance committee disagrees with any action taken by the committee, their position should be stated with the committee's recommendation.
