This committee shall formulate rules and regulations bearing upon the care, control, and government of students, and except where otherwise delegated, upon student extra-course activities. It shall advise the Vice President for Student Life on the implementation of rules and regulations enacted by the faculty or its Senate, and at least once annually shall review and evaluate with him or her these rules and regulations and their implementation. The committee shall generally assist and advise the Vice President for Student Life and be assisted and advised by him or her, meeting with the Vice President upon request and requesting meetings as needed. The committee shall also specifically advise upon student financial aid, student residence halls, student counseling and placement, and student health, and upon policies governing beverage alcohol use and substance abuse; it shall meet with the directors of administrative units responsible for these matters, at the request of the directors or at the discretion of the chairperson of the committee. It shall have general oversight of the policies of the Undergraduate Student Judicial System, as provided for below. It shall further advise upon student publications and make provision for faculty advisors to them. On all issues falling under its jurisdiction, the committee shall initially decide whether a change in the substance or wording of a policy should have the approval of the full Senate, or should only require approval of the committee itself, with the Senate informed of its action. The Senate ultimately may choose to act upon items sent to it as information. (Rev. fall 1988)
