APM 132 as amended in executive committee on May 4, 2015

Policy on consultation regarding the implementation of California State University executive orders.

Recognizing that the Chancellor of The California State University periodically pre–empts parts of the Academic Policy Manual (APM), it is the general policy of California State University, Fresno that implementation of such executive orders by the president, or the president’s designee, be done with the maximum possible amount of consultation with the Academic Senate. All new executive orders shall be presented to the Academic Senate at its first meeting after the order is received, or provided electronically to all senators at the earliest possible date after the order is received. The president shall then consult with the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate, or a relevant standing committee if that is more appropriate given the executive order’s subject matter, regarding the appropriate way to implement the executive order on this campus that maximizes the involvement of the faculty.

Specifically, this consultation shall ensure the following:

  1. That where the executive order requires campus policies be revised or new policies created, existing Academic Senate committees and processes shall be used whenever possible rather than ad hoc committees or task-forces.
  2. That where the Academic Senate feels additional policies and procedures are in the best interests of the university than those required by the executive order, the Academic Senate may recommend a new or revised policy for inclusion in the APM that exceeds the guidelines provided by the Chancellor’s Office.
  3. That the Academic Senate shall have representation on any campus task force, committee, or oversight body when mandated by the executive order with faculty appointed through regular procedures laid out elsewhere in the APM.
  4. That when considered necessary by the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate, the text of the executive order shall be included in the APM; in cases where the Academic Senate has approved a policy implementing the executive order, the order must be appended to that policy in the APM.
