ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Policies
There are different types of policies that guide the work of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ. Of these, institutional (or ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ) policies are the most far-reaching; these policies impact all members of our community, and are generally developed, reviewed, and produced through our formal representative governance processes. Institutional policies are the general guidelines that inform decision making and the development of procedures throughout the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ, including policies that are required of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ by way of federal legislation or other mandates. Institutional policies:
- govern institutional procedures, expressing policy in broad terms;
- have widespread application, guiding the work of our campus as a whole - apply to faculty, staff, students, and administration;
- change or are created through the formal policy review process; approval rests with the President's Cabinet and/or the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ President
Institutional policies may be supported or administered through departmental or other procedures. These are defined in the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ's Policy Definitions. Many of these apply to specific units or groups within the institution; each document will indicate to whom it applies, as described in our ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Policy Template. If you have questions about a specific policy or policy-related document, contact the policy owner or responsible department. As we continue to refine and improve our policy development and maintenance practices, more policy documents will be captured on this web site.
