It is the policy of the University to encourage research on the part of all persons and groups within the several faculties. Such encouragement includes the endorsement and support of acceptable proposals for outside contracts or grants. b. Such outside support must be integrated with the regular educational and research functions of the University. The acceptance of contracts or grants involves substantial indirect costs, Physical Plant operating costs, and the use of departmental, college, and general University facilities. Funds to meet these indirect costs must be provided either by the sponsors or by tax funds. In the latter case, because such activities come into direct competition for funds with other interests within the University, careful consideration shall be given the acceptance of such contracts. [c. Rules governing the acceptance of contracts for research, of gifts, and of grants, are contained in T h e General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure.] New material is in italics; deleted material is in brackets. six persons member or except that office shall be elected
