Each College or School shall have Operating Papers, and the Faculty of each Department may also adopt and maintain Operating Papers. Operating Papers shall be as clear and transparent as possible to facilitate consistent implementation of policies. Operating Papers shall not be in conflict with higher-level Operating Papers, University policy or the provisions of this Agreement.
Purpose of Operating Papers. Operating Papers establish the processes and practical mechanisms that enable Faculty to participate in the governance of their departments/schools and of their colleges. Operating Papers also provide for the expression of the differences and uniqueness of the various basic academic units in the university. The Faculty of each such department/school, unit, and college shall adopt and maintain an operating paper, which shall not conflict with the terms of this Agreement, Board statutes, or the college’s operating paper (for department/school, and unit operating papers). The Library Affairs Operating Paper shall be considered to be a college operating paper.
