All great ideas and comments! At CSU I also am involved in both content and process, so I would echo what others have said about having our program deal with both.
It's the available technology solutions that are of most interest to me right now. Are you using any workflow? How are you tracking expiry/review dates and what do you do when they come up? Do you maintain your own online policy library or does an external entity (vendor or university IT dept) do that for you? Have you considered hosted (vendor provided) solutions? I would also really like to hear more about the interactions between your policy operations and your counsel's office. To what extent do you go looking for areas in which you need more/better policies, vs. waiting for someone to come to you? Are you interested in a presentation about bridging the gap between counsel and the policy administrator? Thanks! /RS/ Robert Schur, JD Exec.

At KU, enforcement and compliance is largely left to the units who own the policies. We have a coordinated policy program with decentralized policy management. Because of this structure and because we have a well-populated policy library, I would like to explore functional topics: how do we develop and implement a policy review process that promotes the role of the policy owner; how to bring in the last 10% of units into the policy library; how to improve (or use technology to improve) the policy development process; what policy library tools to assist visitors in finding what they are seeking; how to use analytics to improve policy library functionality. Those are the things that are on my mind these days. Thanks, Amy Amy E. Smith, M.S.E.

Christine, Right now, I am particularly interested in ethics topics; Title IX and Clery Act compliance; federal grant compliance/requirements; accreditation requirements; employment policies. Although many policy offices seem to be focused on process, ours is also very involved with product. I know we're not alone in this, especially in the review stages, so research techniques would be of interest as well. Of course, since these areas are what I'm interested in, I might decide to submit a proposal ... Because that's how I learn.
