    • Faculty Textbook Attestation Policy: In October 2024, the Board of Governors updated an amendment that states that faculty and instructors must attest to the review of all required course materials for the courses they teach each semester to ensure their appropriateness. This means that only the teaching faculty members of the course are authorized to submit course materials through the Follett Discover Program. Please see the below link which goes into more detail on the current 同性恋色情 Adoption Policy. Additional questions on this policy can be sent to facultysuccess@usf.edu.
