On questions of formulating policy, students are entitled to a participatory function. Students
shall be free, individually and collectively, to express their views on issues of institutional policy
and on matters of general interest to the student body. Participation may involve a variety of methods
including but not limited to the following:
- Formal recommendations by the Student Government Associations and other recognized units of student
self-government
- Student membership on standing and ad hoc committees of the Health Sciences Center
- Special student committees appointed by members of the administration for advice and assistance
on specific issues or policies
- Student petitions
- Student discussion of proposed policies in committees, in student organizations, in student-sponsored
forums, or in the student publications
- Informal advice and counsel to administrators by officers of recognized units of student
self-government and officers of recognized student organizations, and advice and counsel to
administrators by individual students.
