http://policy.yale.edu/ This is an interesting topic! From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ford, T Michael Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2014 1:32 PM To: 'Institutional policy-related discussions' Subject: RE:[acupa-l] Policy Organization System Standard Hi Richard, I think Rebecca's answer (mirrored by Michele) really speaks to your query: "In the end the policy system must meet the demands of the individual institution and/or university system and these may be unique. " Hence, there are many "standards" that you'll find out there, as you have probably seen in visiting our many institutional policy web sites. But with consideration for each institution's history, culture, etc.-each institution arrives at the policy organization that fits their needs and those of their users. As you note, two of the "premier" policy web sites, Cornell and Minnesota, are in fact very different yet are very effective for their respective user community. Best, T.

Has the possibility of adopting a policy organization system standard ever been discussed? If so, what was the outcome? For example, Joshua's Cornell policies are organized into eight categories, or volumes<http://www.dfa.cornell.edu/treasurer/policyoffice/policies/volumes/index.cfm>. Michelle's UM policies are organized into either Governance or six categories of Administrative<http://policy.umn.edu/Policies/index.htm>. My institution is looking at creating/adopting a policy organization system, and would be interested to know if there is a policy organization system standard, similar to how libraries adopted one of two organization system standards<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Dewey_and_Library_of_Congress_subject_classification> for library books. I normally ask replies on the listserv be sent to me only so as to not clog everyone's inbox, but this one might be good for public discussion. Thanks for your considerations in this matter.
