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.” A document combining all Board of Governors meeting agenda items for the proposed policies with descriptions of the proposed action on each is available by clicking any of the policy titles above. Upon the Board’s approval of the resolution for these policies, a comment period opened and will remain open until 10:00 am, Tuesday, November 19, 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: Jendonnae L. Houdyschell Senior Associate General Counsel Office of General Counsel & External Affairs Marshall University Old Main 213 One John Marshall Drive Huntington, WV 25755 Policies in Effect Notice Regarding Administrative Procedures Policies may direct university administration to create an administrative procedure to implement the policy.
