institution which is a part of the system. It is the duty of the Presidents
under the law to support the State Board of Regents' decisions including,
but not limited to, budget, finance, facilities, planning, roles, curriculum,
programs, and System-wide administrative policies.
3.2. Informational Liaison with Legislators - The Presidents
shall maintain effective informational liaison with members of the Utah
Legislature. Institutional representatives should keep members of the legislature
fully informed so that they can better understand and resolve the problems
and appreciate the accomplishments of the system.
