Hello David, At the University of Washington we don’t solicit anticipated policies from our administrative (or academic) units (although they are encouraged to work with our office as soon as the need for a new or revised policy is known); however, my office does work with our Office of State Relations and Office of Federal Relations to determine when changes in state or federal policy will affect UW policies or rules in place.
It’s often from federal rule-making or pending state legislation that I’m first made aware of changes that will affect particular UW policies and rules. Once aware, I can reach out to the campus unit(s) that oversees that particular rule or policy to alert them to the possible or pending change (if they are not already aware) and the need to update the policy accordingly. Often the unit(s) are aware of the pending change, but not necessarily the particular policy it will affect. We approach it with a simple “heads up” communication that works in the best interest of both parties. However, I realize you work on a different scale than the UW’s three-campus system. I wish you all the best with your situation.

At the University of California, our Presidential Policies (systemwide—13 locations, 200,000+ employees) must often go out for vetting to the full community. This requires at least 90 days for each policy. Our Academic Personnel office has said that they must know in advance which policies are anticipated so that they can plan the solicitation of vetting ideas within their academic calendar and committee structure. So I’m asking if any of you have a process with timelines, deadlines, etc. to ask policy owners/offices for anticipated policies or cut-off dates for a particular year so that vetting and processing can be planned. Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.
