Section 135-55-25 - Organizational Rules

25.1. Each institution shall amend any of its policies/rules to comply with the Council's rule or rules no later than six months after the effective date of any change in statute or Council rule or rules, unless a different compliance date is specified within the statute or rule containing the requirements or mandate.

25.2. An institution may not adopt a rule, as mandated by this subsection, until it has consulted with the appropriate employee classes affected by the institution's rule or rule's provisions. At a minimum, consultations with the institutional Classified Employee Council (staff council) and/or the institutional Faculty Senate (faculty senate), as appropriate, shall take place.

25.3. If an institution fails to adopt a rule or rules as mandated by this subsection, the Council may prohibit it from exercising any flexibility or implementing any discretionary provision relating to human resources contained in statute or in a Council rule until the organization's rule requirements have been met.

25.4. Unless a governing board exercises the flexibility to create its own classification and compensation program pursuant to Section 26 of this rule, the Chancellor or his or her designee has the authority and the duty to review each institution's comprehensive classification and compensation rule or rules and to recommend changes to the rule or rules to bring them into compliance with Council rule or rules or legislative and Council intent. The Chancellor may reject or disapprove any rule or rules, in whole or in part, if he or she determines that it is not in compliance with any rule/rules or if it is inconsistent with Legislative and Council intent or does not sufficiently address and include measures that foster meaningful accountability of the institution to this rule, its own rules and state law.
