Hi Ellen, Here at Wake Tech, to promote shared governance we created a Community Review section for our policy approval/review process. It is a simple blog that was set up and each policy that is open for review/comment is on the blog. We made it a requirement to sign in using their employee key account so people wouldn't just write non-productive comments regarding the policy changes. We leave the review period open for about 7 business days. Depending on the policy and the type of changes usually determine how many comments will be left. For example, when our Smoking policy was under review we had 25 comments left and some changes receive no comments. So far, the comments have been helpful and several people have commented that they liked having a say in the process before a policy change becomes official. The vice president of the applicable areas has final authority whether to change the policy based on feedback from the Community Review before routing it up for final approval.

For example, I see that sometimes new policies are posted on the policy website with a general invitation to comment. Can anyone offer some insight on how well that process functions? Do you find it to be productive? Onerous? Do you find that the effect on campus by-in is worthwhile? Thank you, Ellen Ellen M.
