Hi Tinu, Here at the University at Buffalo, we do have a policy glossary that includes all the words that are included in the definition section of each policy. The glossary includes the definition and a direct link to the policy/policies in which the word is used. Here is the link: http://www.buffalo.edu/administrative-services/policy1/glossary.html
The Glossary does include instances where the same word is defined a bit differently in different policies, but we are working towards developing consistent definitions. The Glossary can be used as a resource for those drafting new or revised policies. Hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks, Pam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pamela D.

Do you have one on your policy site? More than one? Presented as an optional resource to use for drafting or requirement? Used for some terms but not others? Have more than one definition for the same term (student, employee, etc.)? Thanks!
