Sunny, Our policy on policies refers to those as unit-level standards and requires that they are approved by a responsible executive. The owner of the standard is supposed to let my office know of the existence of their standard and the URL to where it resides online (I keep a spreadsheet). However, my guess is that there are a lot of these types of documents out there that I don’t know about, and I don’t actively seek them out.
You can find the definitions for “unit-level standard” and “responsible executive” in the policy here: http://www.purdue.edu/policies/governance/vc1.html. The last paragraph of the statement of policy outlines the requirement to notify my office.

Specifically, our graduate college is creating some new policies. They have asked who approves them and how they make sure they are in line with university policy. I don't want to become the gatekeeper for all lower level policies at the university, but wonder how this works for you? Thanks for your comments.
