Board as a recommendation for their consideration and approval (or not). Bringing the regulation modification to the Board for their approval is in keeping with Regents Bylaw 22.2, which spells out the reserved authorities of the Regents. I’ll present how
we got to this spot in greater detail when Council meets at the end of January but wanted to alert you to the item.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
