About the Program
Our Current Effort
We are currently familiarizing ourselves with policy partners across the University, identifying needs and collecting policies. In the first phase, the Policy Program site will focus primarily on directing site visitors to policy pages hosted by individual offices and departments.
Future Plans
Ultimately, the policy program will host a repository of all individual approved Administrative Policies and accompanying supplemental materials. It will also provide templates and guidance for policy partners to better facilitate the creation, revision, approval, communication, and review of policies.
