Senate Considering Two Bills

Faculty Senate committees are considering two bills. The first bill calls on the university to provide each full-time faculty member with an individual faculty development budget each year. The second bill calls on the university to create a committee to review the university's health insurance policies for family members of UCO employees.

 
New Instructional Materials Policy
With the passage of HB 2103, UCO has adopted a new instructional materials policy. The policy contains two key provisions of interest to faculty members. In order to inform faculty of this new policy, these two sections are reproduced below. The full policy can be found here.
