UNIVERSITY-NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC LABORATORY SYSTEM
An association of institutions for the coordination and support of university oceanographic facilities.
The UNOLS Charter requires review and re-adoption. The following changes (underlined and bold) have been proposed for page 4 of the UNOLS Charter and approved by the UNOLS Council at their April 1995 meeting:
The UNOLS Office will normally be established at a UNOLS operator institution. It is expected that the UNOLS Office will rotate among these institutions. The UNOLS Chair, with the UNOLS Council, will review UNOLS Office performance and activities on about three-year intervals (or at intervals controlled by the duration of funding grants). The Office may, if so suggested by review, be moved after three, six or nine years, and it would remain at a single institution for a period longer than nine years only under extraordinary circumstances.
