Bylaws
The bylaws of the School of Natural Science and Mathematics (NSM), written in accordance with the guidelines of The University of Texas at Dallas Academic Senate, provide the governance framework for NSM and define the organizational framework of the school.
These bylaws also provide the framework into which bylaws of the departments within the school must fit. Departments within NSM have oversight for the academic content of degree programs, and responsibility for ensuring program quality and compliance with school, University, state, and SACSCOC requirements. The degree of autonomy provided to Departments in nonacademic matters such as fiscal responsibilities is at the discretion of the Dean.
