2.03 Termination of, Limitation, or Suspension of Entry into Academic
Programs
When an institution expresses a desire to terminate an academic program,
it will present its plan to the Board of Regents for approval. If an institution
wishes to limit*, suspend, or substantially reduce admission to a program,
it should provide that information to the
Board in advance of the implementation of the reduction and report back
to the Board its intentions with respect to the program. If it has been
decided to terminate the program, the institution will then request approval
of its intention to terminate after the last student has completed the
requirements of the program. If admissions are to be reopened, Board approval
will be required. (Board of Regents Minutes, February 20-21, 1980, pp.
387-388; November 18, 1981, pp. 273-274; September 19-20, 1984, p. 86;
April 22-23, 1987, pp. 801-803)
* The term "limit" in this policy refers to the formal restriction
of admission to a program of a Regent university by establishing a numerical
enrollment maximum. It does not include limits placed on admissions
to graduate programs, the routine reduction in the number of classes
or sections offered due to staffing problems, other changes in curriculum,
prerequisite changes, or changes in grade point requirements for retention
or graduation.
