VI. RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION
SPONSORED RESEARCH, GIFTS, AND GRANTS
Sec. 54. (a) 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.

and of grants, are contained in The General Rules Concerning University
Organization and Procedure.
