Any unit which believes that there is a
reason for it to have policies and procedures differing from those set out in
this chapter may request an exception. The request must be approved by the
procedures established in the unit's pattern of administration and by the dean
of the college, after broad and meaningful consultation with the unit's
tenure-track faculty. The request will then be submitted to the executive vice
president and provost and, if approved, to the university senate for
approval.
