Proposed Policies
The Marshall University Board of Governors periodically approves new polices or amends existing policies controlling Marshall University. In order to ensure all constituencies have had an opportunity to comment on such actions, notices of proposed rulemaking are distributed to certain members of the Marshall community, including constituency representatives to the Marshall University Board of Governors and others identified in the Board’s "Policy on Rulemaking."
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking by the Marshall University Board of Governors
On February 20, 2020, the Marshall University Board of Governors approved resolutions initiating the rulemaking process for the proposed policies listed below.
Academic Affairs Policies
MUBOG AA-15 Course Withdrawal
MUBOG IT-6 Electronic Records Management Policy
The Board of Governors meeting agenda items containing the proposed policies with descriptions of the proposed action on each is available by clicking on the policies above.
Upon approval of these resolutions, a comment period opened and will remain open until 10:00 am on March 24, 2020. During the comment period, members of constituency groups and the public may comment on the proposed policy changes. If no substantive comments are received for any individual policy, all actions for that policy will be considered approved as final. If substantive comments are received for a policy, then that proposed policy, comments, and responses will be presented to the Board for approval at a subsequent meeting.
Comments should be sent via paper mail only (USPS mail or campus mail) to:
