Two West Virginia University Board of Governors Rules have been amended by the BOG through the emergency rulemaking procedure:
In accordance with the emergency rulemaking procedure, these amended Rules shall remain in effect no longer than 90 calendar days. However, the BOG also approved a notice of proposed rulemaking to permanently amend these Rules, and they have been posted online today (Aug. 17) for public comment.
The proposed changes are to amend current BOG Rules to comply with the new Title IX regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Education. Additionally, minor revisions are proposed to more clearly address University practices and current terminology.
Summaries of the proposed Rules can be found on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking website. The revisions will be posted for public comment for 30 days beginning today (Aug.17), and ending on Sept. 16. All public comments received will be posted on the University’s policy website.
The Rules may be changed, subject to comments received. The comments, or summary thereof, and final proposed Rules will be posted for 10 days prior to the BOG taking final action.
The BOG Rules under review can be found on the Rules, Policies, and Procedures website. Any member of the public can comment on these proposed Rules.
