I Students are first.

I Diversity is valued, understood and respected.

I Diverse, motivated and talented students, staff and faculty are actively recruited and retained.

An intellectual environment conducive to leadership in teaching, research and community service is encouraged and supported.

I Effective teaching is promoted both inside and outside the classroom.

I Students are taught how to obtain, evaluate and use information.

I Learning is lifelong.

I Effective and efficient fiscal management by the administration is the norm.

1 Collegiality is the norm, not the exception.

I Each person is a change agent.

I Excellence starts with me.

KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY CORE VALUES

Through the core values, we- the faculty, staff, administration and students of Kentucky State University – communicate to all our stakeholders and constituents the way in which we choose to do business. The following values that we hold are essential to achieving the University's mission:

Student Centered Philosophy

In everything we do, our students come first. We strive to create an environment that values the unique backgrounds, perspectives and talents of all our students and provide them with the academic, leadership and social tools to help them grow as responsible, knowledgeable and creative global citizens. We encourage attitudes and behaviors that lead to a desire to learn, a commitment to goals and respect for the dignity of others. Ultimately, we encourage attitudes and behaviors that build success.

Excellence and Innovation

We believe in student's potential to learn and to connect what they learn inside and outside the classroom to solving problems for productive changes. We strive to offer excellent academic programs; to encourage exploration and discovery through providing outstanding instruction, technology and facilities; and to ignite a curiosity toward the world and a passion for lifelong learning. We seek to reward the pursuit and achievement of excellence and innovation in an environment where freedom of thought and expression are valued. We want all members of our campus community to leave a mark through their creativity, curiosity, discovery, exploration and ingenuity.

Ethical Conduct

We encourage the sharing of information in an open and responsible manner while maintaining the highest ethical and moral standards. The standards are reflected in our commitment to accountability and to personal responsibility for our choices and actions. We encourage respect for the dignity, diversity and right of individuals. We welcome all students who commit themselves to learning, knowing that students and faculty with diverse perspective enhance our classroom experience.

Social Responsibility

We share responsibility for each other and are committed to providing opportunities for the participation in the economic, political and cultural life of our local, state, regional, national and global communities. We are sensitive to our surrounding community; therefore, we recognize the value of integrating classroom learning with the community experience. Our commitment is to provide leadership and to establish partnerships for addressing community and workforce needs and to make a positive difference in the city of Frankfort, the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the world.

BACKGROUND: Strategic employee recognition fuels an environment that inspires new ideas and gives its communities victories to celebrate. At Kentucky State University, when an employee or a team achieves outstanding results — big or small — we must shine the spotlight on brand champions and their great work — the big finish with entry into the Winner's Circle.

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES: Our goal is to build a culture that thrives and understands the relationship between great customer experiences and Kentucky State University's brand reputation. The program aims to encourage constant workplace improvements, including evaluation of processes, work flow, communication, and ways to inspire enthusiasm for victories in the hearts of our employees, believing true success happens from the inside out.

The campus community and others will be encouraged to nominate employees who deserve special recognition for going above and beyond the call of duty to impact the customer experience while advancing the brand reputation of Kentucky State University. This program will recognize individuals whose service to the University provides exceptional benefits in the furtherance of the goals and mission of the institution.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC GOALS: It is our goal to position Kentucky State University among the nation's most visible post-secondary institutions and as an effective force for progress in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, working collaboratively and efficiently to boast its position of providing the highest quality education for the highest return on investment while improving the quality of life and driving economic growth in the Commonwealth.

Dear President Brown:

We thank you for your staff's participation in the midterm review of the statewide strategic agenda. We have set ambitious goals for Kentucky, including the 60x30 educational attainment goal. It will take the collective work of our public institutions to make this happen, and we are happy to see our universities being proactive in their performance and target setting.

Kentucky State University has submitted the following proposed adjustments to their 2021 targets; CPE's decision on that submission follows.

We will provide an update of the revised 2020-21 campus targets at the next Council work session, and any changes will be reflected in the next annual performance presentations to the Council on January 23-24, 2020.

Dear Kimberly,

The Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) is pleased to inform you that the Kentucky State University has been selected to participate in Cohort 2 of Degrees When Due. As you know, Degrees When Due is a college completion initiative, designed to help states and institutions increase attainment among the “some college, no degree” population while also closing racial and socioeconomic equity gaps.

Degrees When Due seeks to build expertise, capacity, and infrastructure on campuses across the nation to get near-completers over the finish line. Your campus application demonstrated a deep commitment to serving adult student learners, strong leadership capacity, willingness to seek equitable change, and a focus on significantly increasing degree attainment. We are proud to partner with you in this important work.

Degrees When Due was developed from two evidenced-based strategies, Credit When Its Due and Project Win Win to support states and institutions with scaling adult reengagement and reverse transfer strategies. As a Cohort 2 participant, you and your institution will receive access to a robust technical assistance web-based platform, on-demand coaching and support, and connections to a national network of other state and institutional leaders all working to reengage their adult student population and remove system barriers to student success.

IHEP will launch Cohort 2 in September 2019 and will hold a virtual orientation for campus participants on October 17 from 12:00 – 2:00 pm EST. This Cohort 2 orientation will bring together team members from all participating institutions to learn more about the initiative, understand roles and expectations, establish connections with peers, and identify next steps in successful implementation.

Your campus Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be sent in a separate email. Please be sure to review all commitments (including Appendix A) outlined in the MOU and complete by August 30, 2019.

Please contact Emily Sellers at esellers@ihep.org with any questions.

POLICY PROTOCOL 6 steps to reining in and bringing order to campus policies

By Heather Kerrigan

When a nursing operation's leader at Emory Healthcare, part of Emory University in Atlanta, launched a policy management initiative, she thought the project would involve consolidating an estimated 500 disparate policies. "Without a unifying way to keep consistency and keep reasonableness among the policies and consolidate them, you end up with chaos and inefficiency," says Bill Dracos, chief business practice improvement (BPI) officer at the university, whose team was brought in to assist.

As it turns out, the estimate was way off. The number of policies was more like 15,000.

So over the course of three years, BPI administrators helped the health care system identify, categorize and eventually consolidate their policies. That desire to bring order to the myriad policies at the health care system—and later the university—is gaining traction nationwide. Today, a growing number of colleges and universities are instituting policy management efforts to manage risk, enhance communication and transparency, maintain consistency, uphold accountability, and ensure that clear, well-organized policies are readily available to guide decision-making. An active U.S.-based organization is even dedicated to the discipline: the Association of College and University Policy Administrators (ACUPA). It includes members from 190 institutions in five countries.

It includes members from 190 institutions in five countries.

Policy management process tends to involve a set of critical components. Following are six related steps for administrators on a policy cleanup mission.

1. Define your scope

Making it easier to manage, align and produce policies is a significant undertaking, so project scope and expectations must be clearly defined at the outset. What does the institution hope to achieve? Who should lead the effort? How many policies are actually involved?

Dracos recommends determining whether the effort will address only central, campuswide policies or also consider those specific to individual departments and units.

Now is also the right time to create a standard definition of a policy and how it differs from a procedure, form or job aid.

POLICY PROTOCOL

Many institutions have developed a policy on policies—a framework to ensure that every policy clearly indicates what it does, the process for review and adoption, who can change it, and who must follow it. (See an example, the 2017 policy framework for Northeastern University in Boston, at UBmag.me/northeastern.)

poli-cy \pä-lo-sē\ n, pl -cies 1. An essential component of a successful policy management effort is to define what rises to the level of a policy. This varies from institution to institution, but from the outset, consider what everyone needs to follow based on law or administrative regulation. A true policy tends to have broad implications across campus. Internal standards, procedures, instructional documents and job aids used by individual departments or across campus don't generally meet the policy criteria.

2. Engage the right people

Policy process tends to be siloed, as institutions are by nature. To address this, some colleges establish a policy management office, department or team to serve as the backbone of the effort. Most often, this isn't a body responsible for writing or approving policies, but rather one that includes liaisons from various departments who can provide expertise, give feedback, encourage action and spread the word across campus about the effort.

While some team members at Emory University were self-selected, others were assigned by department heads, says Sara Dicker, senior associate for BPI. "People were excited and grateful to have a process that would get us to a cleaner place," she says. "They recognized it would be a lot of work, but everyone was willing to do that work to get a better result."

Members of the James Madison University policy committee have reported

QUIZ: Is it time for formal policy management?

• An institution's leadership team plays an important role in elevating the need for campuswide policy management. To determine whether a policy management effort is right for your college or university, consider the following questions.
• Is it easy for administrators, faculty, students and other stakeholders to quickly find a policy? ☐YES ☐NO
• Does someone have responsibility for periodic policy reviews and updates? ☐YES ☐NO
• Are your policies standardized, and does everyone have a general understanding of their purpose and who needs to follow them? ☐YES ☐NO
• Have you conducted a robust, institutionwide policy review in the past few years? ☐YES ☐NO
• Have there been recent campuswide changes to regulations, mission direction and research expectations, or changes in law? ☐YES ☐NO
• Reflection: If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you're already on your way to getting the right policy management structure in place. If you answered "no," your leadership team should start talking about

how a policy management effort can support the institution.

that the work is interesting, meaningful and important, says Rick Larson, assistant vice president for HR, training and performance at the Virginia institution.

Jennifer DeNeal, associate director of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Office of Ethics Education and Policy Management, says that UNC has continued to struggle with a balance between the right people and the necessary people. There, and at many other schools, deans, vice chancellors or designees are required to sign off on policy changes. However, they may not be policy subject-matter experts and tend to be busy, so documents can sit for a long time awaiting approval—an issue that is still being worked through.

3. Set a clear time frame

As with other committees, policy management teams have members whose core roles tend to include pressing deadlines. Campus officials should discuss with campus stakeholders the necessity of the policy management effort to help ensure managers and department heads understand how they can benefit from a more organized system and why they should allow their staffers time to complete policy management tasks. Setting a deadline for measurable progress can help.

At the University of California, Davis, leaders recently implemented a technology-based policy management system to complement an existing policy management effort. Policy Coordinator Maria Eynon says success depends on top leadership; vice chancellors at UC Davis are “taking ownership and seeing the importance of policy and advocating for it.”

4. Be patient and flexible

The fact is, says DeNeal of UNC Chapel Hill, “some departments are going to be slower to embrace change than others, especially in a university with a culture of decentralization.”

Her team received feedback from several departments wanting a table of contents or an organizational structure that would align with existing policy numbers used by the UNC system office. Other departments wanted to retain their own policy numbering and system. “We’ve had to think about other ways we might be able to build an overarching organizational structure that meets everyone’s needs and existing internal structures,” says DeNeal.

In other words, what works for one department won't necessarily work for another. So avoid restrictive policies on policy, says Dracos, of Emory.

5. Enhance policy access

Bringing all policies into a central location and making them easy to access is a way to ensure transparency. Colleges are centralizing where policies are housed online to make them easier to find, follow and identify for updates.

ensure transparency. Colleges are centralizing where policies are housed online to make them easier to find, follow and identify for updates.

At Rice in Houston, for example, various policy versions and formats were scrapped in favor of a fully searchable website where all policies are accessed in the same way.

Policy management-specific tech systems, or broader document management or enterprise content management systems, can help bring order to the chaos. They not only make the policies more readily available, but they also streamline how a policy moves from creation and review to approval, giving visibility to each step and allowing policies to be carefully monitored.

UC Davis leaders determined that the best system for maintaining policies would involve user focus groups.

Policy users, approvers and developers helped review demos of vendor systems and provided feedback to ensure that the

POLICY MANAGEMENT: A team effort

Examples of how various higher ed institutions tackle policy management

James Madison University (Va.): A policy management program got underway in 2001 with a nine-member policy committee; all staff have other job duties.

University of California, Davis: One FTE, who has had the role for about four years, focuses on policy management. Eleven unit policy coordinators track policies and distribute them for review.

Rice (Texas): A formal policy management effort began in 2016. The chief compliance officer has policy management duties in his job description. Each policy has an "owner." Emory University (Ga.): The business practice improvement team started working with Emory Healthcare in 2015 and with the university in spring 2018. The health care system dedicates three to four FTEs to policy; the university has two with policy as part of their job duties.

Emory University (Ga.): The business practice improvement team started working with Emory Healthcare in 2015 and with the university in spring 2018. The health care system dedicates three to four FTEs to policy; the university has two with policy as part of their job duties.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: The policy management effort kicked off in 2016. One team member works full time on policies, and two others work on issues related to both policy and integrity or ethics. The policy review committee has 36 seats; 32 are currently filled.

structure made sense and was accessible for the audience.

Emory's Dicker cautions that technology solutions should not come into play before policies are reviewed and updated. After all, as the saying goes, "if you put garbage in, you get garbage out," she says.

6. Set maintenance expectations

The never-ending, critical final phase for a policy management effort is this: maintenance. “If the policy is out of date or wrong, you can’t hold anybody to it; you can’t have accountability,” says Ken Liddle, chief compliance officer at Rice. The rule of thumb is to review policies every two to five years. Some policy management systems are built with default reminders about policy review. Creating templates can help with a manual review process (as well as with the creation of new policies moving forward).

ACUPA's policy development process document contains 14 best practices, including four covering the maintenance stage (UBmag.me/acupa). It advises developing a plan for maintenance and review; encouraging users to provide feedback (to help catch outdated information); archiving changes and including an “effective date” on new releases; and measuring outcomes by monitoring or testing.

All administrators and staff across campus must understand that even after an initial push is done, policy management is ongoing. It's not simply an exercise in compliance, but rather a key component of the structure and culture of the institution.
