  D. TASB Policy Services, Regulations (Administrative Rules)

The discussion at the Council level will be the process of converting ARs to the TASB format (referred to as Regulations). Neil proposes that sub-groups be formed to work on the conversion with clear direction to ensure that the language of the ARs is maintained.

Don Morris added that the Faculty Senate has already made some progress in correlating existing ARs to the TASB framework of Regulations.

The Council discussed the considerations, challenges and concerns related to implementation of the AR conversion. Neil will meet with Mike Midgley and Virginia Fraire to begin formulating a holistic plan.

The Council agreed that more information is required before a target date can be stated however the beginning of the new FY may be realistic and favorable.
