• conformity of collegial and departmental curricular programs and proposals to university-wide policies;
• establishment, inactivation or significant revisions of academic programs;
• establishment or discontinuance of bodies or agencies that are directly related to academic programs;
• standards for admission and graduation of students; library policies and facilities; and
• matters referred by college curriculum committees, advisory councils or the faculty senate that are related to issues that affect undergraduate and graduate education.
