The University Committee on Academic Governance is responsible for reviewing, interpreting, and recommending amendments to the Bylaws for Academic Governance. The committee’s decisions are subject to review by the University Council and the Board of Trustees. UCAG also reviews college bylaws for consistency with the Bylaws for Academic Governance. Every college’s bylaws are reviewed at least once every five years. Additionally, UCAG conducts a continuing review of best practices for dean reviews, reviews unit appeals involving cases between units, and helps to coordinate the membership of various other academic governance bodies.
