From: "Oren Yagil" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2014 10:37:42 -0500 X-Message-Number: 10 Thanks for gathering input, Christine. Good luck to you and the Planning Committee. 1) A big topic that I think is bubbling up on many campuses would be the development of policies around the use of social media. This may be too specific for what you're looking for, but with the scarcity of information on this, it might be helpful to have some information about this with all its complexity. 2) In that line of thinking, perhaps something about the ACA and its possible impact on HEIs' policies might be of interest. 3) And a more general interest might be- how to work (enter, develop, create) policies in a "policy-less" institution. This could be creating the whole structure of development of policies, but also might be helpful on how to get the buy-in and the "pay attention" to policies in a place that relied on "that's what we've always done, why do we need policies."

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.

Deardorff" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:42:47 +0000 X-Message-Number: 4 Hello Richard, At least for public universities, a policy organization system is often built to comply with state regulations as well as university-grown policy programs. In Washington State the University of Washington is required to maintain various policies as Washington Administrative Code (WAC) rules. These have a statute-mandated path to completion. While other topics are exempt from this rule-making structure and these have other locally-grown policy structures and paths to completion that are specific to the institution or university system. Consequently, I'm not sure standardization is possible, although there may be some universities or collages that could follow a standard model. I'd guess is that one would need to look at systems based on whether they were public or private and then consider the standard divisions based on the types of degrees offered (which often indicate the size and scope of the policies): Baccalaureate, Master's, Doctoral, 2-year, Research, etc. In the end the policy system must meet the demands of the individual institution and/or university system and these may be unique.

I'm too new to ACUPA to recall if there has been a discussion on a standardized policy organization system (however, that would certainly make an interesting panel discussion at an ACUPA or EACUBO meeting!) At FIU, we organized [and numbered] our policies by broad categories (somewhat similar to Michelle's @ UMN) and in an effort to mirror the Dewey Decimal Classifications.

We created our categories to group logical policies for the end user. While they roughly align with a VP, there is no one "pure category" (a category = a VP). So, for example, in the Finance category we also include policies that are financial in nature, but are driven by the VP for Research (Effort Certification) or VP for the Foundation (Accepting Gifts). If there are policies that logically fit in more than one categories, we just repeat the listing. They would also drive to the single policy. Our users typically use the search functionality first (greatest percentage). If they aren't using a term that is in the policy they are seeking, they would then move to one of the other search options (by category, by subcategory, alphabetical listing.) Of course, if all else fails they could call us. More often than not, the first search option is the winner. I'm guessing the biggest difference we would have across our institutions would be triggered by the level of refinement of the categories/volumes. We have financial policies in Finance. It might work best for our counterparts to go right to what we would refer to as subcategories just to skip a step (Budget, Purchasing, etc.) We also place all the more unusual ones under a single heading (Administration and Operations), just so that we didn't create a lot more categories. I tend to lean towards Rebecca's standard - it may not be possible to have a single standard, but rather adopt one that fits your organization.

The general conclusion is that a "volume" system is basically obsolete, and remains only as a vestigial reminder of the hard copy "three-ring binders" of policies that we had before the Internet. We have found their existence sometimes confusing, and try to direct people to the "A to Z index" or to the search box in the center of our home page. The main problem with a volume system, or any static system of organization, is that many policies might logically fall into more than one of the volume categories, and people, therefore, don't know in which volume to look. By July 1, 2015, we will have designed a new policy website. We are trying to think of better ways to get people to the information they need. In addition to the "front and center" search tool, which will not go away, one of our ideas is a question box that produces a selection of answers generated from keywords in the question. This would be a similar tool to, for instance, the support pages on most software sites, such as Microsoft's. Another idea is a "How Do I" pull down menu, with, perhaps, the twenty most common things people come to us to do. Pulling down to, for instance, "How do I take time off?" will get the user immediately to the policy that deals with leaves. So I think we're going toward spending our very scarce resources on a more useful web presence, rather than any particular static organization system. But of course that's just us. This is a very interesting thread, and I am interested in everyone's priorities and opinions.

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.
