*FS 01-51/CPC, Ex. CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUs) AND CONTINUING EDUCATION HOURS (CEHs), REGIONAL AND CONTINUING EDUCATION (RCE) POLICY

BACKGROUND: The recommended policy on self-support instruction was included in the last Program Review of RCE. RCE has requested that it be adopted as University policy. During Spring 2001, the CPC, in consultation with RCE Dean Alice Tom, revised the original recommendation, and we now recommend its adoption as University policy and inclusion in the University manual.

The Faculty Senate recommends adoption of Regional and Continuing Education's policy (September 27, 2001 Faculty Senate Agenda Attachment E) on offering Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Continuing Education Hours (CEHs).

Carried unanimously.

(Background: In August 1975, the Office of the Chancellor established classification and qualification standards for classes of Grant-Related Instructional Faculty (GRIF) [FSA 75-55]. Hiring of Grant-Related Instructional Faculty would conform with existing policy.)

The Faculty Senate recommends implementation of the Chancellor's policy on classification and qualification standards for Grant-Related Instructional Faculty (September 27, 2001 Faculty Senate Agenda Attachment F).

Carried unanimously.
