Policies Under Review
University policies are valid for 6 years. Every year, several policies need to be reviewed to determine if they are still meeting the needs of the university and its students, staff, and faculty. We can approve them for another 6 years, revise them, or remove them. The Policy Consultation Committee coordinates the work of the reviews.
In the 2024-2025 policy review cycle, 18 policies are due for a periodic review. There will also be 1 new policy created. Thus, 19 policies will be reviewed this year.
The University’s policy consultation and approval process now includes two review periods during which members of the University community have the opportunity to review policy drafts and suggest modifications. The first period, entitled “informal review,” results in revisions of the initial drafts in consideration of the comments received. We particularly seek comments that help the committee and the policy drafters revise with an equity lens.
The following policies are being presented to campus for Informal Review (January 13th-February 3rd). Comments may be provided electronically using the Microsoft Form posted on that webpage or in writing to Brittany McKibben (brittany.mckibben.2@mnsu.edu).
Please submit comments no later noon on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2025.
