Some of the expenses for the honoree to attend commencement ceremony activities will be funded by the host campus. It shall be the responsibility of the nominator to obtain the required letters of support, resume, and nominee data. Nominations received, and judged to be complete and valid, will be referred to the 2001 University Awards Committee. Late or incomplete packages will not be forwarded for committee consideration. Committee members and the Board shall not be lobbied in support of nominees.
Nomination is no guarantee of an award.
Nominators will be notified when the nomination package is complete. Incomplete packages will not be considered, nor will packages received after the deadline. The 2001 University Awards Committee will convene in January 2001, the committee s recommendations will be presented to the Board in February 2001, and the list of approved honorees will be made public at the March 2001 meeting of the Board of Regents. The deliberations of the University Awards Committee will not be released. That remains the prerogative of the board-EPUS committee . . .
