Friends: presenting "another side" of the thought process, how much damage
will be done relative to staff/employee relations, particularly tenured
faculty? Even if possible/justifiable under institutional policy-making
procedures. Good luck.

Subject: RE:[acupa-l] Emergency Policy Contingency?
Lynda,
Here, even our VPs can enact policies on a "fast track," such as those with
special promulgation needs, as quickly as necessary. We call one of these a
"Policy Statement and Interim Procedures," and they are called that until such
a time as they can be brought through the formal approval process (at which
time they become simply "policies"). The reasoning for not requiring
presidential approval is that it is assumed, through the normal operational
chain of command, that a VP asking for such a policy would naturally have the
blessing of his or her superior, namely the president.
The regulations surrounding these are covered in our Policy 4.1, Formulation
and Issuance of University Policies (although we haven't changed the
terminology in that document-in it, they are still called "interim policies").
Here is the link:
http://www.dfa.cornell.edu/treasurer/policyoffice/policies/volumes/governance/policies.cfm
If you're interested in why we changed the name from "interim policy" to
"policy statement with interim procedures," it's because the executive policy
group pointed out that when a policy statement comes forth from a VP and has
been properly vetted through normal operational channels and the chain of
command, there's really nothing "interim" about it (although procedures remain
to be worked out). And policy users were reacting to "interim policies" as if
they were not in full effect.
I hope this helps.
Joshua

Hello,
I have a request from our Chief Administrative Officer/CFO regarding a:
"policy that would allow the president or cabinet to enact an emergency
implementation of a policy
for fiscal exigency, or other immediate needs"
Do any of you have such a policy and if so will you share?
Thank you!
