PROCEDURE FOR AMENDING THE STUDENTCODE
TheConferenceonConductGovernance(CCG)isastandingcommitteeoftheUrbana-Champaign
Senate composed of faculty members, administrators, and students. Its responsibilities are
outlined in the Senate Bylaws, which provide in relevant part:
(a) Duties
—
Legislative Function of the Conference The Conference is a Senate Committee
which, inconjunctionwiththe Chancellor andwiththe assistance oftheOffice of
Campus Regulations, shall have the following legislative functions:
1. Review and transmitinwritingto the Chancellor its approval, disapproval,
or modification of standards of conduct (hereafter called "rules") initiated
by subcommunities of the campus;
2. Initiate and recommend inwriting to the Chancellor adoption of additional
rules it deems desirable;
3. Filewiththe Office ofCampus Regulations andwith the Clerkofthe Senate
anotice ofsuch transmittals and recommendations including the text ofthe
rules; and
4. Periodically review the conduct governance system and make general
recommendationstotheChancellorandtheSenateregardingrevisionofthe
system. To this end, it may request reports from members of the system.
.
(b) Authority and Jurisdiction
1. Rules filed with the Office of Campus Regulations and with the Clerk of
the Senate shallbecome effective thirty (30) days after filingunless contrary
action has been taken by the Chancellor. The Senate may submit its
recommendations to the Chancellor with respect to proposed rule changes.
To this end, the thirty (30) day period may be extended by the Senate or
Senate Executive Committee to ninety (90) days, excluding the period May
21 throughAugust 20, ...
As outlined above, CCG is responsible for drafting amendments to the Student Code, subject to
final approvalby the Chancellor. Proposed amendments come from many sources. Forexample,
CCG itself generates many proposals in exercising its oversight function stated in the Senate
Bylaws. Suggested amendments also have come from students, faculty members, and campus
academic and administrative units. In addition, the Chancellor, the Dean ofStudents, and other
campus administrators periodically appoint campus task forces to study specific issues and
make recommendations that ultimately require amendments to the Student Code.
Allproposalsto amend the Student Code, bothinternal and external, are assigned anagendaitem
number by the CCG Chair and scheduled for discussion at one or more regularly scheduled
CCG meetings. Many agenda items require significant additional discussionwith the proposing
party and other members of the campus community who may be affected by the proposed
change.
If CCG votes to recommend a change, draft language is prepared. Merely technical or
noncontroversial changes are sent directly to the Chancellor for approval. More significant or
controversial changes are presented by the CCG Chair for comment to the Senate Executive
Committee and later to the full Senate. Typically, additional changes are made to the draft in
response to Senate Executive Committee and Senate commentsbefore itis sentto the Chancellor
for approval.
Note that for most Student Code changes, the Senate's role is advisory to the Chancellor. Some
changes, however, (for example, those related to academic issues) require a formal Senate vote
of approval before they are added to the Student Code.
Once an agenda item has been approved by the Chancellor (or if necessary, by the Senate), it
is scheduled for inclusion in the Student Code text. Although a change may become effective
immediately upon approval, most changes are held until the end of the academic year for
inclusion in the following year's Student Code. This process allows people who use the Student
Code to rely upon the most recent printed version as stating the current rules.
