C. The Selection Process

The Bylaws of the Board of Trustees of The University of Tampa designate the Educational Affairs Committee of the Board as having a pre‐eminent role in the selection process at Board level. The president will review the Committee's recommendations and will propose recipients from the Honorary Degree Committee to the Educational Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees.

Recognizing the traditional interest of the faculty in degree‐granting matters and that of the senior class in the selection of the commencement speaker, the agreement that follows is designed to provide a process whereby the University may select honorary degree recipients with each constituency (trustee, faculty, student, and staff) playing appropriate roles.
