In light of the inclement weather, campus will close Monday, February 23, at 11 a.m. In-person and online classes beginning at that time or later are cancelled. Campus will reopen Tuesday, February 24, at 5 a.m. Only employees designated essential by Storm Day Staffing Plans should remain on campus after 11 a.m.

The PCRRC is a standing committee of the University of Maine Faculty Senate. The following summarizes the committee’s function as described in the Faculty Senate Bylaws (Article VII, §9):

Function. The Program Creation and Reorganization Review Committee has the responsibility to receive and review proposals for the creation, elimination, and reorganization of academic programs. After the information is gathered and evaluated, the committee will present a recommendation to the faculty senate for its approval.

The PCRRC interprets the language of the bylaws such that “creation, elimination, and reorganization of academic programs” includes all proposals in APL Section X-L, X-P, and X-S which are required to be approved by the Chancellor’s Office and/or the Board of Trustees, regardless of whether the Board’s authority or Chancellor’s Office authority has been waived.
