14.17. Smoke Free Policy 14.17.10. Background As a matter of policy, UCSD endeavors to maintain a safe and healthful environment. The Surgeon General of the United States has determined that cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of illness and premature death in the nation. Moreover, research indicates that non-smokers who are

Revised 4/15/14

regularly exposed to passive (second-hand) tobacco smoke are also at increased risk of illness. Passive smoke appears to be especially deleterious to the health of certain populations, including the elderly, children, and individuals with allergies, asthma, respiratory disease, or cardiovascular disease. For these reasons, the Surgeon General has urged employers to implement broadly-based health promotion programs with special emphasis on smoking cessation. The response to the Surgeon General's advice and the medical evidence has been an overwhelming trend toward protection of the health and safety of non-smokers. 14.17.11. Reference 14.17.11.10.

administrative offices theaters waiting rooms

private offices lobbies reception areas

laboratories hallways university vehicles

classrooms stairwells machine shops

conference rooms restrooms elevators

auditoriums libraries food service areas

lounges clinics

14.17.12.13. The regulations pertaining to smoking aboard ships operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography will continue to be established on each cruise in consultation with the chief scientist. 14.17.12.14. The only exceptions to this policy are for covered parking lots, private residential space and, at the UCSD Medical Center, for those few patients who are both in private rooms and have specific written orders from the attending physician permitting them to smoke. 14.17.12.15. Additionally, where outdoor seating is provided adjacent to indoor food service facilities, non-smoking sections must be designated and posted. 14.17.12.16.

Updated 4/15/2014

18.11.18.134. The locations where pledges may be submitted should be easily accessible and, in accordance with UCSD regulations, may be along pathways or corridors regularly used by students in the course of registering for or attending classes and/or paying fees. The date by which students must submit pledges should be as late in the academic term as the billing schedule allows. 18.11.18.145. At a minimum, a valid voluntary student contribution pledge shall state clearly the amount of the contribution being pledged each academic term and that such pledge is for the duration of the student's academic career at UCSD, unless revoked in writing or other format as provided by the written agreement. The pledge shall include the student's name, registration identification number, signature and the date of the signature. If alternative formats such as telephone or electronic means for collecting student pledges are used, the written agreement shall include procedures that assure the validity of the student's pledge. 18.11.18.156. Additional information may be included with the pledge, as provided in the written agreement with the student government or Registered Student Organization. 18.11.18.167. The pledge system shall be compatible with UCSD registration and billing systems. Whenever possible, accommodations may be made to collect voluntary student contribution pledges using the UCSD telephone or electronic registration systems. 18.11.18.178. When there is a break in the student's enrollment, assessment of voluntary student contributions shall not be resumed unless a new pledge form is obtained from the returning student. For purposes of this Policy, the term "enrollment" means registration fees are paid in full. 18.11.18.189. A student government or Registered Student Organization may gather pledges in support of a voluntary student contribution in a manner consistent with University/ UCSD policies. Registered Student Organizations must maintain their Registered Student Organization status throughout the implementation of the pledge system, including solicitation of pledges, holding the referendum, and the duration of the contract. 18.11.18.1910. Opportunities to inform students about the student government or Registered Student Organization, the voluntary pledge contribution, and the pledge mechanism may be made available throughout the year. 18.11.18.2011. A student government or Registered Student Organization may be permitted to collect pledges prior to the referendum and before the written agreement is finalized. Pledge forms collected prior to a student referendum shall have no effect if the student referendum is defeated. For fee billing purposes, UCSD shall honor pledges collected during the same academic year in which a student referendum is held to establish a pledge system, provided the students approve the measure. 18.11.18.2112. Once a pledge system is implemented, students may execute and submit pledge forms throughout the year. Opportunities to execute pledges shall be made available, as provided in written agreements and UCSD regulations. 138.11.18.22. A student government or Registered Student Organization may make pledge forms available to students as provided in written agreements or as otherwise provided in UCSD regulations. 148.11.18.243. To ensure that the additional administrative workload is justified, no less than ten percent (10%) of the total affected student population of UCSD must submit a pledge to pay the voluntary student contribution before a pledge mechanism may be

Updated 4/15/2014

implemented. In determining the minimum number of students who must submit pledges, UCSD may use the student enrollment count, which is used to establish voting pool requirements for student referenda, or other standards established in UCSD regulations. 158.11.18.24. If, by the end of the final billing cycle of the academic year following implementation, and any year thereafter, the percent of students having pledged equals less than the number provided in Section II, Letter I (14)18.11.18.23 above, a referendum regarding the continuation of the voluntary student contribution pledge system shall be placed on the ballot of the next ASUCSD and/or GSAUCSD election held in compliance with the UCSD regulations. For the continuation referendum to pass, the vote requirements are the same as in Section II, Letter F18.11.15. If the continuation referendum is not held or does not achieve passage, the pledge system in question will be terminated. 18.11.18.2516. For each student who has pledged to pay the voluntary student contribution, the contribution shall be itemized on the student fee bill with other fees and included in the total amount due for that billing period. A check-off mechanism to opt-out of the contribution or reverse the pledge shall not be included on the billing statement. However billing statements will direct students to information about non-payment procedures and voluntary contribution revocation procedures. 18.11.18.2617. The voluntary student contribution pledge mechanism should be implemented as soon as possible, as provided in the written agreements, and not later than two academic terms following the student vote in favor. 18.11.18.27. The actual costs of implementing and collecting the voluntary student contribution (as defined in Section 8 of the University of California Guidelines for Implementing a Voluntary Student Fee Pledge System) shall be assessed to the relevant student government or Registered Student Organization, including costs in the first year for designing and implementing the pledge billing system. Such assessed costs cannot exceed the actual costs incurred for billing and collection of the fee, including the pledge mechanism. The pledge system should be cost efficient and compatible with the UCSD registration and billing systems and cost efficiency goals. The student government or Registered Student Organization shall collaborate with the University and with UCSD to identify methods for promoting cost efficiency. 18.11.18.2819. At the discretion of the Vice Chancellor-Student Affairs, all or a part of the actual costs of collection of voluntary contributions to benefit a student government may or may not be required to be borne by the student government. 18.11.18.2920. In the event of a change in billing procedures or any other changes which would affect how the voluntary student contribution is collected, campuses may discuss with the student government or Registered Student Organization how proposed changes in billing procedures may affect the collection of the voluntary student contribution. The student government or Registered Student Organization shall be notified of the need for changes as far in advance as possible to ensure that the student government or Registered Student Organization has adequate time to make any necessary adjustments. 18.11.18.3021. A student who has pledged to pay a voluntary student contribution in support of the student government or Registered Student Organization may revoke the pledge by written request or other format as provided by the written agreement. 18.11.18.3122. A student may revoke a pledge by submitting any of the following which must include the student's name, signature (including electronic signature), date of signature, and registration identification number: (1) a pledge reversal form, (2) a letter to

Updated 4/15/2014

the Registrar or other appropriate UCSD official, or (3) a handwritten statement on the student's billing statement. 18.11.18.3223. A date shall be set by the parties to the written agreement for each academic term by which time all pledge reversal forms must be submitted to the designated UCSD official in order to be effective for the next term's billing statement. 18.11.18.3324. Once a student has submitted a pledge revocation notice, per Section 18.11.18.31II, Letter I (22) above, that the student no longer wishes to pay the voluntary contribution, UCSD shall no longer bill the student for the fee and the student's billing status should be the same as the billing status of a student who has not pledged to pay the voluntary contribution. 18.11.18.3425. If a student has pledged to pay the voluntary student contribution, but pays less than the total amount of all fees due, it will be presumed conclusively that any shortfall, up to the amount of the pledge, was a failure to pay all or part of the voluntary student contribution. 18.11.18.3526. Once a student has pledged to pay a voluntary student contribution, failure to pay the contribution in any given academic term shall not be interpreted as failure to pay required fees for registration purposes. Therefore, a student's registration shall not be held up, nor shall a student be dropped from classes, because the student did not pay the voluntary student contribution. 18.11.18.36.27. In the absence of an official revocation, failure to pay the voluntary student contribution as pledged in a given academic term shall not be interpreted as an intention to revoke the pledge. 18.11.18.3728. If a student underpays his or her contribution, UCSD, at its option, may include the voluntary student fee on "late bills" sent to the student. However, it shall not be expected that UCSD will send "late bills" if the amount unpaid is equal to or less than the total amount of the voluntary student contribution or if UCSD does not send "late bills" routinely. 18.11.18.38.29. Voluntary student contributions shall not be considered in determining a student's need for financial aid, and payment of the voluntary student contribution shall be made in accordance with Federal, State, University, and UCSD student financial aid policy. 18.11.18.3930. University/UCSD shall not be obligated to undertake responsibilities on behalf of the student government or Registered Student Organization beyond those specified in this Policy. 18.11.18.4031. Disclosure of information regarding students who provide voluntary student contribution pledges must be made in accordance with Federal and State privacy laws and University/UCSD policy.

18.12III. ESTABLISHING, INCREASING , REDUCING, OR ELIMINATING COMPULSORY CAMPUS-BASED STUDENT FEES : Compulsory campus-based fees include fees levied at UCSD that must be paid by all registered students to whom the fee applies to fund (1) student-related services and programs, including, but not limited to, referenda-based student health insurance programs; (2) construction and renovation of student facilities such as student centers and recreation facilities; and (3) student governments, Registered Campus Organizations via a viewpoint-neutral reallocation by a student government, and student government and Registered Campus Organization-related programs and activities. (See section 18.13.10.12)

Updated 4/15/2014

18.12.10A. This policy does not apply to University-wide fees, to non-referenda-based campus health insurance fees that may be assessed to meet a non-academic condition of enrollment established by either The Regents or the President, to fees related to instruction, or to campus-based miscellaneous fees that require either the Chancellor's or the President's approval. 18.12.11B. Referendum Requirements : Compulsory campus-based student fees may only be established, increased or renewed following a referendum in which students vote in favor of the compulsory fees, except as provided in these Policies.

18.12.11.101. Any compulsory campus-based student fee approved as either a new fee, or as an increase to or renewal of an existing fee, shall provide for fee revenue for local need-based financial aid ("return-to-aid") to be set aside in an amount equal to at least 25% of the total new fee, fee increase, or fee renewal, as appropriate. The return-to-aid generated by undergraduate students shall be reserved for undergraduate financial support and the return-to-aid generated by graduate and professional students shall be reserved for graduate and professional student financial support. Any campus-based fee that is charged to a student as a premium to purchase health insurance for that student shall be exempt from any return-to-aid requirement. This exemption shall not extend to campus-based fees that have been approved by students through the referendum process for the purpose of providing direct support to campus student health services. 18.12.11.112. A proposed new compulsory campus-based fee or proposed increase or proposed renewal to any existing such fee (except as specified in Section III, Letter D 18.12.13 of this Policy) must be voted on by students as a separate ballot measure in a student referendum, except that multiple proposed new such fees or fee increases or renewals may be aggregated into a single ballot measure where the proposed fees or fee increases or renewals strongly and clearly support a common student life, student service, or other programmatically related goal. 18.12.11.123. The actual language of any ballot measure in a student referendum that is intended to fund either construction of a new building or other facility, or major renovation of an existing building or other facility must explicitly state:

(1) a. Whether the fee will be continued following retirement of the original debt on the new construction or major renovation, and b. (2) If the fee is to be continued, the purpose or purposes for which the fee will be used, as well as the mechanism that will be used to determine the level at which the fee will be set, following retirement of the original debt.

18.12.11.134. A payment by students of compulsory campus-based student fees to support student-referendum-funded construction of new buildings or other facilities, or major renovation of existing buildings or other facilities, may be initiated only from the time that students can actually benefit from and use the new or renovated building or other facility, except as specified immediately below. 5. A campus referendum may assess students a pro rata percentage of any such fee in advance of completion of the new or renovated building or other facility for the purpose of supporting the design and planning costs, project mitigations, and financing costs associated with construction or renovation of the building or other facility, provided that both the purpose and level of this assessment are approved by students as part of the ballot measure language in the original referendum. 18.12.11.146. Student Consultation: A request to establish a compulsory fee to be assessed on UCSD students must be endorsed by the student government elected to

Updated 4/15/2014

represent the students affected by the proposed fee prior to the setting of the date for the referendum as described in subsections 18.12.11.14.10 through 18.12.11.14.13 below.

18.12.11.14.10a. The request for the establishment of campuswide undergraduate student compulsory fees must be approved by the UCSD Associated Students Council. 18.12.11.14.11b. The request for the establishment of campuswide graduate student compulsory fees assessed on graduate students must be approved by the UCSD Graduate Student Association. 18.12.11.14.12c. The request for the establishment of college-based compulsory fees must be approved by the duly appointed college governmental body. (See section 18.14 for the guidelines regarding the student consultation process related to campus‐based fee‐funded facilities.)

18.12.11.157. Special and General Election Voting Pools and Balloting Requirements: In a referendum during any election, the referendum will pass if (a) the number of students casting ballots equals or exceeds 20% of all students eligible to vote during the academic quarter in which the special or general election is held and (b) the number of affirmative votes exceeds half the total votes cast on the specific referendum question.

18.12.11.168. All referenda results are advisory to the Chancellor and, conditional on the Chancellor's recommendation, are subject to final approval by the President under the President's delegated authority from The Regents.

18.12.12C. Requirements for Reducing or Eliminating a Compulsory Campus-based Student Fee 18.12.12.101. Compulsory campus-based student fees cannot be reduced or eliminated when the campus-based student fee is necessary to meet legal requirements and contractual obligations and other commitments such as income projections, debt service and/or funding covenants of a building or facility that is funded wholly or in part by campus-based student fees. 18.12.12.112. Students may initiate a reduction or elimination of compulsory campus-based student fees, prior to their expiration, by a referendum in which students vote in favor of reducing or eliminating the fee in accordance with the referendum requirements set forth in Sections 18.12.11 through 18.12.11.15III, Letter B.

18.12.13D. Exceptions to the Student Fee Referendum Requirements: An increase in compulsory campus-based student fees may be approved by The Regents subject to the President's and the Chancellor's recommendation, and does not require a student referendum, under any of the following circumstances:

18.12.13.10. When the original referendum language approved by students in a student election specifically allows the Chancellor to increase a compulsory campus-based student fee. 18.12.13.112. When the Chancellor determines that an increase is necessary for the health and safety of students and when the fee is related to maintaining the safety of a building or facility that is funded wholly or in part by compulsory campus-based student fees. Safety issues are those that are potentially dangerous consistent with the standards set forth in the University Policy on Seismic Safety and the University Policy on Management of Health, Safety, and the Environment, as determined by the Chancellor with the concurrence of the Office of the President, such as those that relate to the risk of

Updated 4/15/2014

fire, the presence of asbestos, or the existence of seismic or other structural deficits. For buildings or facilities with multiple uses, whenever possible, the costs to students for funding safety-related or health-related maintenance should be based on the proportion of current non-academic student use of the facility. Any new fee, or any increase to or renewal of an existing fee, established under the provisions of this Section shall be retired once the fee's stated purpose is fulfilled. Upon the recommendation of the President, the Chancellor may petition The Regents for continuation of any such new fee, fee increase, or fee renewal in advance of its retirement. 18.12.13.123. When the fee increase is necessary to meet legal requirements (such as new code requirements) or contractual obligations (such as income projections) specified in the funding covenants of a building or facility that is funded wholly or in part by campus-based student fees. For buildings or facilities with multiple uses, whenever possible the costs to students for such increases should be based on the proportion of current non-academic student use of the facility. 18.12.13.134. The Regents have authority to impose fees for any University purpose. All campus-based student fees at a campus must be approved by the Chancellor of that campus, except that no compulsory campus-based student fees shall be effective until also approved either by The Regents or by the President under the President's delegated authority, as appropriate.

18.13IV. SUPPORT FOR REGISTERED STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND RELATED PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FROM COMPULSORY CAMPUS-BASED STUDENT FEES

18.13.10A. Conditions for Support 18.13.10.10. UCSD compulsory student fees allocated to student governments may be reallocated to support Registered Student Organizations and Registered Student Organization-related programs and activities consistent with the University's and UCSD's educational purposes in providing such support, as set forth in Section 18.13.11 belowIV, Letter B. The process for making such reallocations must be based solely on viewpoint-neutral criteria, as set forth in Section IV, Letter C18.13.12 below. 18.13.10.112. A Registered Student Organization that is preponderantly or exclusively funded by a student government or other campus entity from compulsory campus-based student fees shall primarily have UCSD students as its members. Programs and activities of a Registered Student Organization funded from compulsory campus-based student fees shall be open to participation by the entire campus community. In addition, all expenditures relating to programs and activities of a Registered Student Organization (whether the program or activity takes place on- or off-campus) that are funded from such fees must be under the direct control of UCSD students. 18.13.10.123. The referendum process set forth in these Policies in Section 18.10, and followingthis Policy, shall not be accessible to a Registered Student Organization or any student group other than a student government for the purpose of establishing a compulsory student fee to support itself or its program's activities. The foregoing is not intended to preclude access to the referendum process by any administrative unit of the University, subject to appropriate student consultation. Support for a Registered Student Organization or any student group other than a student government from compulsory campus-based student fees must be in the form of a reallocation from student government or other appropriate campus entity to the Registered Student Organization or other student group. All such reallocations must be made consistent with the requirements for viewpoint-neutral funding set forth in Section IV, Letter(s) B & C s 18.13.11 and 18.13.12 below. 18.13.10.134. A student government in consultation with the Vice Chancellor-Student Affairs, or the Vice Chancellor-Student Affairs with the concurrence of the student

Updated 4/15/2014

government, may establish and administer a mechanism providing for a pro rata refund to any student of that portion of his or her student government fees that has been allocated by the student government or other campus entity to support a particular Registered Student Organization or Registered Student Organization-related program or activity.

18.13.10.13.10a. Students who believe that any portion of their compulsory student government fees support political, ideological, or religious organizations or activities may seek a pro rata refund of that portion of their compulsory student fees that were used to support such activity. Requests for refunds of any portion of compulsory student government fees shall be processed in accordance with the procedures set forth in these regulations in Section 23.00 Student Grievance Procedures. The student government body collecting the fee will be responsible for costs of litigation that are incurred as a result of a violation of these regulations. 18.13.10.13.11b. For any student who successfully asserts that a Registered Student Organization, or any activity of any such organization funded by a separate allocation, is predominantly political, religious, or ideological in nature, the student government body collecting the fee will provide for a pro rata refund directly from the organization to the student of that portion of his or her compulsory student fees that has been allocated to support the organization or separately funded activity under challenge.

18.13.11B. The University's Educational Purposes 18.13.11.101. The University's educational purposes are served when reallocations by a student government or other campus entity of compulsory campus-based student fees to support Registered Student Organizations and Registered Student Organization-related programs and activities are made:

(1)a. Tto provide opportunities for the educational benefits and personal and social enrichment that derive from participation in extracurricular programs and activities; and b.(2) Tto stimulate on-campus discussion and debate on a wide range of issues from a variety of viewpoints.

18.13.11.112. Consistent with the purposes set forth in Section IV, Letter B(1)18.13.11.10 above, such reallocations shall only be made to support either the general organizational expenses of Registered Student Organizations and Registered Student Organization-related programs and activities or their associated communicative purposes. 18.13.11.123. In addition, allocation decisions to support Registered Student Organizations and Registered Student Organization-related programs and activities must be made without regard to the viewpoint of a particular Registered Student Organization or Registered Student Organization-related program or activity, and must be balanced in relation to the support provided to other Registered Student Organizations or Registered Student Organization-related programs and activities in similar circumstances.

18.13.12C. UCSD Procedures and Criteria to Assure Viewpoint Neutrality 18.13.12.101. In fulfilling the University's educational purposes, UCSD shall have responsibility for ensuring that student governments and, as applicable, other campus reallocation entities, maintain procedures and criteria for making specific reallocation decisions for the support of Registered Student Organizations and Registered Student Organization-related programs and activities from compulsory campus-based student fees. Such procedures and criteria must be viewpoint-neutral in their nature; that is, they must be based upon considerations which do not include approval or disapproval of the viewpoint of the Registered Student Organization or any of its related programs or activities.

Updated 4/15/2014

18.13.12.112. Criteria appropriate to be given balanced consideration in the making of viewpoint-neutral reallocation decisions might include, but are not limited to: the objectively documented organizational needs of the Registered Student Organization based on membership size; its office or equipment requirements; the extent of financial support the Registered Student Organization receives from other sources; or the production costs associated with a particular event or series of events the Registered Student Organization typically sponsors. Such sponsored events, supported in whole or in part by compulsory campus-based student fees, need not avoid controversial political, religious, or ideological content, subject to the understanding that under current University policy (see University of California Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students, Section 30.20 of the Policy on Speech and Advocacy) UCSD has a responsibility to assure an ongoing opportunity for the expression of a variety of viewpoints. 318.13.12.12. Student governments or other campus entities responsible for reallocating compulsory campus-based student fees must: (a) publicize widely and regularly to Registered Student Organizations, either through publication in the The UCSD Guardian, by posting to an electronic bulletin board, or by other appropriate means, the availability of such funds to support Registered Student Organizations on a viewpoint-neutral basis, as well as the viewpoint-neutral criteria on the basis of which such funds will be reallocated; (b) assure that communications to Registered Student Organizations on the availability of such funds be made in a timely fashion, and be reiterated periodically during the year as long as such funds remain available, to ensure sufficient time for the preparation of funding proposals in advance of funding decisions; and (c) provide students with a reasonable time to request consideration for a refund. 18.13.12.134. Student governments or other campus entities responsible for reallocating compulsory campus-based student fees must provide for: (a) documentation of all funding processes available to Registered Student Organizations, including notice of the opportunity to apply for funding and the criteria upon which funding requests will be judged, consistent with Section IV. Letter C(2)18.13.12.11 above; (b) documentation of all funding requests by Registered Student Organizations and actions taken by the student government or other campus entities with reference to the published funding criteria in response to such requests; and (c) a formal process that allows Registered Student Organizations or individual students to appeal, in a reasonable and timely manner, funding decisions regarding particular Registered Student Organizations or Registered Student Organization-related programs and activities made by the student government or other campus reallocating entities.

18.13.12.13.10a. The student government body collecting the fee will use the procedures set forth in the UCSD Policies and Procedures Applying to Student Activities, Section 23.00UC San Diego Student Grievance Procedures, to evaluate challenges by students seeking a pro rata refund of that portion of their compulsory student fees allocated to support a Registered Student Organization or separately funded activity of any such organization asserted to be predominantly political, religious, or ideological in nature. 18.13.12.13.11b. The student government body collecting the fee will provide for a prompt pro rata refund to any student whose challenge is sustained by the review procedure.

18.13.12.145. Compulsory campus-based student fees may be reallocated to pay for speakers sponsored by Registered Student Organizations. Over time, such events should stimulate on-campus discussion and debate from a wide range of viewpoints on a variety of issues.

18.13.13D. Legal Review of Campus Procedures and Criteria

Updated 4/15/2014

: Campus procedures and criteria for reallocation of compulsory campus-based student fees to support Registered Student Organizations and Registered Student Organization-related programs and activities on a viewpoint-neutral basis must be reviewed by the Office of the General Counsel to ensure that the procedures and criteria are consistent with the law and these Policies.

24.00 Student Participation in UCSD Governance 24.10. Policy: As members of the UCSD San Diego community, students have a substantial interest in the governance of UCSD and the University. Their participation has increased significantly in the last decades, and UCSD and the University community hasve benefited from it. It is the intent of this Policy to reaffirm UCSD's and the University's commitment to the principle of student involvement in governance in both administrative and academic areas and to state the primary purposes and goals of that involvement. This commitment is based on the premise that student participation is vital to a vigorous intellectual exchange and the furtherance of the University’s education and research objectives. The overall goal is of UCSD and the University and appropriate, effective, and productive student involvement, consistent with the development of policies that reflect the total needs of UCSD and the University, is the goal. 24.11. Student Role in UCSD Governance: The governance of UCSD the University involves more than the process of making decisions. The process of governance provides a forum for group interaction, expression of concerns, exploration of feasible solutions, and reconciliation of diverse viewpoints. Within this context, student participation serves several functions. such as; 24.11.10.First, it is important to the sound development of policy. Student views and advice, often from special perspectives, provide for more informed UCSD and University decision making. Participation should be encouraged and strengthened through the involvement of all levels of student representation. 24.11.11.Second, tThere is a recognition that students have a vital interest in decisions directly related to policies and programs affecting their academic and non-academic experience at UCSD and the University. Clear procedures are required to ensure that students are afforded access to needed information, an opportunity to share ideas, and encouragement to express concerns, both formally and informally. 24.11.12. Third, sStudent participation is crucial to ensure that student viewpoints are considered on issues of importance to UCSD and the University community. This communication provides opportunities for testing assumptions, for understanding the attitudes of others, for sharing information, and for developing understanding and mutual trust among constituencies. The special nature of UCSD and the University requires a sense of community. While every decision may not be wholly satisfactory to all parties, the governance process should provide a forum for candid discussion. 24.12. Extent, Quality, and Effectiveness of Student Participation: Efforts should continue to be directed toward improving not only the extent but also the quality and effectiveness of student involvement. To these ends, UCSD and the University must work to achieve several goals. , such as; 24.12.10.First, t The processes central to student involvement, including the selection, training, and continuity of student participants, need to be clearly understood by all members of the UCSD UC San Diego community and periodically reexamined. Care should be taken, in particular, that the process of reaching decisions in UCSD campus governance is openly communicated and well understood. 24.12.11.Second, bBuilding on existing mechanisms, means for student participation in administrative and academic areas should be developed and implemented at UCSDUC San Diego and the University of California Office of the President. I; it is important that a variety of ways be provided to ensure that UCSD and the University gains full benefit from student participation in those areas. 24.12.12.Third, aAreas where students are not now participating need to be examined. In this regard, ways should be sought to enhance student involvement in academic departments, where important decisions that affect students are made. 24.13. Achievement of Goals: In order to achieve these goals, UCSD UC San Diego has developed a plan for student participation. Essential to the success of the plan is a periodic review of the procedures

Updated 4/15/2014

used by UCSD campus academic and administrative departments, student governments, and other student organizations, and an evaluation of progress toward implementation of the plan. This review process should involve broad consultation with the UCSD campus community, including formal consultation with student governments and the Academic Senate. 24.14. Access to Campus Plan: Campus plans for student participation in institutional governance should be made readily available for review. Matters which have been delegated by The Regents to the Academic Senate are beyond the scope of the UCSD campus plan, but direct discussions between students and the Academic Senate on student participation in the deliberations of the Senate should continue.
