Rachel,
Our Policy & Procedure Guidelines contains the following paragraph:
Circumstances may require that a policy be issued immediately (before the
review process could be completed) or for a finite amount of time, after which
it is no longer necessary. Such a document will be issued as an "interim"
policy. Interim documents will be assigned an expiration or replacement date.
If the interim document is not replaced with an official document within the
expiration or replacement date, the interim document will expire and will not
be subject to official rescission processes.
Hope that helps.

Hello Kate,
The University of Washington uses a two-prong approach to administrative
policies. We have established:
* Executive Orders - the type of deliberative policy where many units
work together to draft the policy, various committees, including our Faculty
Senate's councils review the draft (a shared-governance model) and the UW
President is the final "owner" and signs off on the final language of the
policy.
* Administrative Policy Statements - generally, this is a policy that
spells out how the UW will comply with a federal or state mandated function or
action and usually involves authority that is completely delegated to an
individual Vice President (and occasionally more than one). For instance, the
"Red Flag Rules" for spotting identity theft of credit cards falls under our
Senior VP for finance exclusively. Her signature is the final sign-off and the
policy does not require the shared -governance by faculty councils or other
groups unconnected with financial procedures.
However, these are distinctions that are behind the scenes for the average
policy user - who will locate both types of administrative policy through a
single search function on our UW Policy
Directory<http://www.washington.edu/admin/rules/policies/index.shtml> website.
Hope this helps,
Rebecca

Subject: RE:[acupa-l] Policy Language
Hi Rachel and all - can I piggyback on your question?
I am currently wrestling with this topic, too, albeit more broadly - what is
the most appropriate way to manage policies that come from external regulation
that fall into the "compliance" policy bucket? They are generally institutional
in nature (at least by our institutional policy definition), but I am really
starting to see these as their own unique type/category for multiple reasons -
they seem to me to be by their nature in substance and process (how they are
developed and written, not much room for campus review/vetting - usually can't
do much with individual's wishes or recommendations about content, etc.) very
different from internally developed policies the institution wishes to put in
place to codify its own activities and expectations, behavioral and otherwise.
Given that my institution's policy function is much newer than many, I would
appreciate any guidance on this topic from those of you with more experience,
including the kinds of language that you use in your policy development
policies...
Thanks,
Kate

Good Morning Everyone,
We are revising our Policy Development and Approval policy. We would like to
add language in about expedited review for situations that may arise where we
have to expedite the policies because of federal regulations, etc.
Would you mind sharing any language that you have in your policy development
policies' that address this?
Thank you in advance!
Rachel
