Chapter 1: General

1A.1 Policy on Policies

As staff and faculty see a need for policies and procedures, they may submit a request to the Academic Standards Committee.

Procedure:

  1. The Academic Standards committee will review the request and decide if it falls within the parameters of the committee, which presently deals primarily with student issues and academic policies, or if the request should be forwarded to another committee to utilize their expertise and representation to draft the policy.
  2. When appropriate, input will be solicited from staff and faculty prior to the final draft being sent to the Academic Standards committee.
  3. The final draft of the policy should have a date and the source of origin included on the lower left hand corner of the page.
  4. The final draft should be returned to the Academic Standards committee for final review. From there it will be forwarded to the President’s Council and/or the Governance committee for final approval.
  5. Approved policies will be published so staff and faculty are aware of them prior to being printed in student/staff handbooks.
  6. Approved policies affecting students will be published in the student handbook and copies of the policy disseminated through advisors prior to being printed in the handbook.
  7. The Director of Human Resources will also receive a copy of the approved policies for inclusion in the staff handbook.
