Section Three - Program Discontinuance

Suspension and Reinstatement of Programs

From time to time it may become necessary for new enrollment in an academic program to be temporarily suspended, either because of a lack of qualified faculty or because of a reduction in budget. Suspension of a program is proposed and approved in accordance with Policy Statement 95-01, Discontinuance of Academic Programs (see above).

Reinstatement of a suspended academic program must be proposed by the appropriate college dean. The dean's proposal should explain in detail the changes in staffing or funding that make reinstatement possible. In cases where the program has been suspended for two years or less, the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, if satisfied that sufficient faculty and budget are available to offer the program successfully, may approve the proposal for reinstatement, simply notifying the Academic Senate Office of the action that has been taken. In cases where the program has been suspended for more than two years, the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs will refer the proposal for reinstatement to the Academic Senate for review by the appropriate councils and a recommendation by the full Senate. In all cases, reinstatement requires final approval by the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs.
