4. hiring and evaluation of academic administrators; 5. recommendation of candidates for honorary degrees; 6. academic facilities, including instructional technologies; 7. aspects of student life that affect academic climate and quality; 8. policies related to academic calendars; 9. creation, reorganization, or renaming of academic units.
