This page is for the exclusive use by campus experts who provide comments on legislation. The comments are used by the Office of Government and Community Affairs to determine what, if any, actions are needed with respect to the position of the campus. Each school and office is to coordinate their position with the Office of Government and Community Affairs and to notify the Office if anyone from their school or office is testifying on legislation. An individual may not testify on behalf of the University without working with the Office of Government and Community Affairs to assure that the position reflects the official position of the campus.
