Charter:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A1.7    Codification Committee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Codification Committee reviews and recommends changes to Faculty policies and procedures for clarity, consistency, and alignment. It conducts ongoing policy review, consults with relevant committees, and advises on updates to UWM Policies and Procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Membership.<\/strong>\u00a0The committee is composed of the following members:\n
      \n
    1. three elected Faculty members;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. three Faculty members appointed by the University Committee;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. one ex-officio and non-voting member: the Secretary of the University, who serves as the committee\u2019s secretary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Functions.<\/strong>\n
        \n
      1. Reviews and makes recommendations concerning all proposed additions to and changes in existing Faculty policies and procedures. The committee employs the criteria of clarity, internal consistency, and relation to other policies and procedures governing UWM. Such recommendations will accompany proposals for additions and alterations in policies and procedures when submitted for Faculty action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Undertakes and maintains a continuing review of Faculty policies and procedures, and any supplement thereto.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Upon its own initiative, or by request of the University Committee, or at the direction of the University Faculty, recommends appropriate changes in Faculty policies, procedures, and committee structure. Such recommendations are made only after consultation with the Faculty committees concerned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Assists and advises the Secretary of the University or other appropriate administrative officials in updating the UWM Faculty Policies and Procedures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Meetings:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The Codification Committee met six times over the 2025-26 academic year (other meetings were scheduled but canceled due to lack of business).\u00a0 In all seventeen documents or changes to documents were reviewed, including a major change to Faculty P&P, regularizing the way faculty committee members are described.\u00a0 The codification committee also proposed a change to its own charter to clarify that the committee only reviews faculty<\/em> policies, not general university policies (such as SAAPs). This change was accepted by Faculty Senate on November 20, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
