Board Policies

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 April 21, 2022, the Marshall University Board of Governors approved a resolution initiating the rulemaking process for the proposed policies listed below.

MUBOG AA-46, Distance Education Courses

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 policy titles listed above.

Upon the Board’s approval of the resolution for these policies, a comment period opened and will remain open until 10:00 am on Monday, June 6, 2022. 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:
