Board of Governors 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.”
