RESOLVED,   That the Board of Trustees guidelines set forth in BR#76-32, which serve as the basis for assuring the healthful well-being of students and other members of the university community, and which pertain specifically to the administrative staffing of university health services centers, be amended to be consistent with the permissive language in state statutes, and be it further

RESOLVED,   That the flexibility inherent in such permissive language be promoted by allowing the university presidents to determine how best to manage their health services centers, and be it further

RESOLVED,   That the Board of Trustees recognizes that the administration of such health services centers may be rendered by a physician, nurse practitioner, other health provider, licensed psychological counselor, or other manager deemed appropriate by the university president.
