Be it resolved that each academic unit (school) is empowered to establish its own schedule for summer instruction in order to achieve those pedagogical and instructional environments most conducive to the highest caliber learning in the courses of instruction within its purview, it being understood that no proposed calendar may violate the provisions of the "Guidelines for the Construction of the Drake University Calendar" currently in force or which may be adopted by the Faculty Senate at some future time.

Summer calendars shall be approved by the University Curriculum Committee, as provided for in the Faculty Senate's charge to that committee, and in consultation with such other members of the university community as may be deemed appropriate. Proposed calendars shall be considered according to a timetable to be determined by the members of that committee. Summer calendars that are judged by the UCC to be in violation of the above-mentioned Guidelines will be sent back to the appropriate unit for revision and resubmission according to a schedule to be established by the UCC. The University Curriculum Committee may further establish a system of periodic review of summer calendars in order to assure that such calendars are supportive of the educational mission of the various academic units.
