Hi Kathy, The University of Toledo merged with the Medical University of Ohio in 2006. As a result of the merger, a committee was formed to inventory policies; develop a common format, vetting and approval process; identify conflicting policies and facilitate a resolution; blend/combine policies where appropriate; and develop a comprehensive policy website.
I'd be glad to discuss with you the successful action plan to integrate the policies. If you want to discuss, let me know!

Part of this transition involves the massive task of reviewing all system and university policies, determining which to adopt or rewrite; and deciding where new policies are needed. Since this includes a great number of policies, the task needs to be carefully coordinated and managed. Has anyone gone through this type of transition? If so, did you hire someone to coordinate this effort and what did that structure look like? We are looking for any successful models you are willing to share.
