Administrative Procedures: Operational guidelines that apply institutional-wide and require approval only from University Counsel and the President.
Once reviewed and approved by the Committee, the proposed policy/procedures shall be submitted to General Counsel for legal review to ensure compliance with current laws, regulations, other existing/conflicting policies, and best practice.
Thereafter, the proposed policy/procedures will be forwarded by the General Counsel to the President who may:
Submit to President’s Council for advisement and/or to others identified in the policy process for further review, drafting, or stakeholder feedback; OR
Not approve or not recommend approval for submission to the Board of Regents; OR
Recommend approval and submit to the Board of Regents for adoption; OR
Approve policy/administrative procedure where Board of Regents is not required. In cases where Board of Regents approval is not needed, is the final signatory authorizing university policy; OR
Take other action(s), as the President deems appropriate.
Once a policy/procedure is formally adopted, it will be posted on the University Policy webpage.
University policies should be reviewed on a periodic basis (a three (3) year cycle is recommended) by the origination sponsor and/or his designee from the originating unit to ensure the currency and accuracy of the policies. Policies will be reviewed for the following:
Continued relevance to the University mission and values;
Consistency with other University policies;
Reflection of changes in laws, regulations, accreditation standards, educational goals/practices, university practices, etc.;
Errors in fact or in language; and
Other potential problems.
If changes in the policy are deemed necessary, the appropriate process (revising, updating, or repealing) should be initiated.
