Routing
1
1) Only the President, a Vice President, the Athletic Director, or the General Counsel can route a regulation
for review (the “Originator”). If Faculty Senate introduces a Senate Bill related to a UW Regulation, the
Provost will serve as the Originator after the Faculty Senate process is complete.
2) The Originator will discuss with Executive Council and Deans and Directors Council during one of their
regularly scheduled meetings.
3) After review by Executive Council and Deans and Directors Council, the Originator will send an email
with the new or modified regulation, including a detailed explanation, to the Chair of Faculty Senate
(unless introduced as a Senate Bill), the Chair of Staff Senate, the President of ASUW, and the Internal
Auditor for review and feedback.
4) The Originator will allow campus constituents four weeks to review (28 calendar days), not including
holidays or University closures, unless extraordinary circumstances exist (exceptions granted only at the
discretion of the President).
5) The Originator will complete the entire form. If any of the constituents provide feedback, the
Originator will attach the feedback to the form when submitting to the President for approval (email is
preferred).
6) The Originator will submit the new or modified regulation, the routing form, and any feedback to the
President for approval.
7) If the President approves, the Originator, in consultation with the Office of General Counsel, will submit
the new or modified regulation and a detailed narrative to the Board of Trustees for approval at its next
regularly scheduled conference call or meeting.
8) If the Board of Trustees approves, the Office of General Counsel will maintain a copy of the routing
form and update/post the regulation online.
