Same at CSU, although, it's not as much about the publication date as it is about the approval process. Our Cabinet and President really only want to take them up twice a year (March and September). However, policy revisions and urgent matters can be "fast tracked" off cycle. And I'm looking at proposing an "interim policy", something we haven't done, right now, that would be approved pending full policy development.

We will go off-cycle if we must (e.g., because we need to address a vulnerability and can't wait several months).

Our University Counsel is asking if other universities have a >different approach, such as implementing a new/revised policy only on the >first day of a new fiscal year, etc. When do your policies become effective? Do you treat certain types of policies differently than others? In particular, are you consistent about when you adopt personnel policies to avoid the appearance of retaliation? Your comments would be most appreciated!
