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. 

The 2025-2026 policy review has begun and continues through May 2026. We are in the Informal Review stage.  Informal comments may be provided electronically using this Online Form.  Informal comments are due by noon on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.

Please keep in mind: 

• University policies state and define institutional positions on issues that both reflect and support the University’s mission and values.
• University policies impact the entire University, their applicability is not limited to a single institutional unit as are departmental or unit policies.
• University policies are different from procedures, which are the steps taken to implement a policy.
• A complete description of the Policy Consultation and Approval Process is available.
