When it is necessary to make an administrative change to an existing research center\/institute, the process may be accomplished by documenting the proposed change and following the appropriate approval procedures (SAAP 01-01<\/a> and SAAP 01-06<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allowable administrative changes under this procedure are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rename \u2013<\/strong> Rename an existing research center\/institute \u2013 may be used to reflect changes in the focus or community a unit serves, or to better identify a unit with the field in which it works.  The approval process is detailed in SAAP 01-01<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reorganize \u2013<\/strong> Reorganize an existing research center\/institute \u2013 may be used to identify\/reflect changes in a unit\u2019s leadership, home department, home school\/college or Vice Chancellor for Research area as its placement within the university. Any proposed reorganizational change must be circulated to the Academic Planning and Budget Committee with a 30 day review and comment period.\u00a0 The changes must be approved by the appropriate dean, and vice chancellor.\u00a0 Copies of the revised document must be sent to the Faculty Senate as an informational item.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
