The Senate of The Michigan College of Mining and Technology


PROPOSAL 4-68

ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND ADMINISTRATIVE RULE MAKING POWER

 

It shall be the consensus of the Senate that:

  1. The development and dissemination of flexible policies or guidelines in relation to the instructional process is properly a cooperative endeavor in which University Administration, Faculty Senate, and the several academic departments must all participate if academic freedom is to be preserved.

  2. The unilateral prescribing of inflexible rules or directives for the control of such matters as the timing, duration, or nature of any element in the instructional process is not a proper exercise of University administrative responsibility.

 


Proposal Adopted by Senate:
