| Proposed: | 09/24/2009 |
| Sponsor: | Senate Office |
| Proposal: | With the recent name change of the Office of Human Relations Programs (OHRP), we should consider whether the Human Relations Code should be similarly changed to a name that more closely aligns with its goals.

| Decision Date: | 2009-10-19 |
| Decision Due By: | 2009-12-18 |
| Decision: | The committee voted to send the proposal to the ERG Committee for review. |
| Actions: | The Human Relations Committee reviewed the proposal in October 2009 and voted to change the name of the Code and the committee. However, while the University Senate Bylaws charge the Human Relations Committee with recommending any appropriate changes in the Code, the committee does not have the authority to change its own name. Therefore, on November 6, 2009, Chair Valerie Orlando sent a letter to the Senate Elections, Representation, and Governance (ERG) Committee, which requested an endorsement of the suggested committee name change. |
| Next Step: | ERG Endorsement of suggested committee name change |
