  4. 2. Resolutions receive the approval of the President (until 2008); or the Provost (after 2008) in consultation with the President. 3. The Board of Trustees approves resolutions, which may be Handbook resolutions or may be resolutions affecting policies and procedures not included or recommended for inclusion in the Handbook.
