All: This is good info – interesting reading the responses. We have a related issue about policy announcements, and would be curious about how, specifically, campuses “announce” new policies or policy revisions. We have a feed on our website of latest actions, and on high profile policies such as campus carry or sexual assault, there is an presidential announcement via email. But we’re struggling with the most effective way to communicate revisions on some of the lower profile/operational type policies, such as cash handling, etc.

The date is set from the most current date of approval for each policy, thus it is an ongoing and “staggered” process. The policy office manages the reminders to policy owners as well as any subsequent revisions or continued approval as is. Regarding anticipated policies, this is done twice per year, early in both fall and spring semesters. We have a governing body of about 30 representatives from each department/division (Generally Deans and staff at Exec. Dir. Level or above along with the Faculty Senate & Staff Council presidents). This is the decision making body one step down from the College Cabinet. My office facilitates working policy meetings with the group where we take a couple of hours and discuss policy needs. The goal is to walk away with a list of policy priorities for that semester. So far, it has worked quite well.

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.
