A. Every section of the Faculty Handbook must be reviewed for revision at least
        every two years.

   B. No later than the beginning of the Fall semester of odd numbered years the Provost
        shall direct the President of the Faculty Senate to initiate the review process for those
        portions of the Faculty Handbook that have not been revised in the interim.

   C.  Pursuant to the directive from the Provost, the Faculty Senate President shall solicit
         proposed revisions from the Senate committees and the councils, the Council of
        Deans, and members of the Cabinet of the President of the University of Houston.

   D. If the primary review finds that no changes are necessary, notification to the Faculty
        Senate President will satisfy the review requirement.

   E.  The Faculty Senate President shall forward those suggestions to the relevant
        organization or governance body as determined by the Senate Executive Committee
        for consideration of revisions.  The relevant body will consider those and other
        possible revisions.

   F.  The primary review body shall refrain as much as possible from stylistic changes
        and will detail its suggested policy changes in its submission of recommendations.
        The Faculty Senate Executive Committee shall review all changes and resolve
        problems by sending the changes back to the reviewing body for further
        consideration, by submitting the matter to the full Senate, or by its own determination.

   G.  Upon completion of the review of any section, that section with the changes
        clearly indicated will be forwarded for review to the General Counsel and then
        for approval to the Provost and the President.  If the recommendations are accepted,
        then the Provost will so notify the Faculty Senate offices.  The General Counsel or
        Provost shall return the recommendations to the Faculty Senate Offices if the
        recommendations are declined.  The President of the Senate will then notify
        the forwarding body to ascertain whether that body wants to take further action.

   H.  Upon notification from the Provost's office, the Faculty Senate offices shall date
        and archive the superseded policy.  The new policy shall be clearly dated and
        substituted into the appropriate section on the website and into the Senate Office
        document file of the whole Faculty Handbook, with copies being sent to the
        President, the Provost, the General Counsel, and the University Archive.  A
        calendar documenting which sections of the Faculty Handbook have been
        changed will be kept on the Faculty Senate website.

   I.  At the beginning of each academic year the Faculty Senate Offices shall generate
        four copies of the complete Faculty Handbook: one for the office of the General
        Counsel, one each for the University Library and Archive, and one to be
        maintained in the Faculty Senate Offices.  Normal access to the Faculty Handbook
        shall be through the Faculty Handbook website.

   J.   Timeline
         Suggested revisions by the primary review committee should be completed within
         four months.  More difficult considerations will take a longer period.

   K.  Nothing in this procedure shall preclude faculty governance bodies in their
        ordinary course of activities from considering changes in the Faculty Handbook
        in matters that pertain to their jurisdiction.  These procedures only detail that
        mandatory review of the Faculty Handbook that takes place periodically.
