This policy does not apply to interim chancellors or interim presidents. The following guidelines are established for carrying out this tradition. Each plaque will bear a likeness of the chancellor or the president, the term of office, and a brief account of the significant contributions made by that individual's administration. As far as possible each plaque will conform to the original style. A period of five years must elapse between the time of a chancellor's or president's leaving office and the preparation of plaque copy in order that each plaque will reflect a proper historical perspective.
Qualified historians are to be selected to prepare the text for the plaques.
The Board of Regents will approve installation of each plaque and its proposed location.
