    C. No organized research unit may be formally established or discontinued until review as prescribed by the president has been completed, the president makes a recommendation to the board and the board has given its approval.

    D. Once established, an organized research unit will be reviewed periodically at intervals of seven years or less, according to procedures established by the president.

    E. All major reorganizations of the administrative structure of an organized research unit must be in conformance with provisions of the board policy on establishment and reorganization of organizational units.
