Two Board of Trustees policies will be proposed for amendment at the next regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas on January 26 at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Redlined versions of the proposed amendments are linked below. Feedback on these proposed amendments can be directed to the General Counsel’s Office or to our email box at feedback@uasys.edu. The proposed amendments are also posted on the system website here:
The proposed policy amendments include:
Revised BP 275.1 Title IX Compliance – Title IX compliance has long been dictated by BOT policy with directives made to the campuses to implement compliance via campus policies. Because of continued revisions to federal guidelines regarding Title IX, the proposed amendments streamline the Board policy and direct that federal guidance be implemented via campus policies. This will allow campuses to adapt to evolving federal guidance without the need for continual updates to the Board policy.
Revised BP 620.1 Addition, Deletion, Suspension, Review and Modification of Academic Programs – The proposed amendments re-order the policy to conform with current policy structure and edit the policy to align it with current practices in the system and state regarding academic program review.
