- The University should encourage all divisions to participate in the provision of continuing education courses and programs.
- The University should provide continuing education programs and courses which are founded on its strengths and primary objectives, and which the University can provide more easily or better than other educational institutions.
- Continuing education activity within the University should be conducted on an income/expense recovery basis.
- Continuing education activity in the academic divisions, when undertaken as part of a regular teaching load, should be taken into full account as one factor in considerations of promotion, merit pay, and tenure decisions.
