Hi Ann, Our form (comp review and change form) allow for policy retirement (see the top blue section...first question). The owner needs to complete much of the same information and the President's Policy Committee (PPC) needs to approve the retirement. While that might sound like an overkill, it is because in some cases, retiring a policy leaves a gap for other units or policies. We do list retired policies on our "recently update policies <https://policy.umn.edu/recently-updated-policies>" page for 90 days from the retirement. I'll provide this link but at the moment, the policies listed weren't retired....just revised.
We actually have a recent example of a policy revision, that went all the way through the process, completed the 30-day review, the policy owner and the chair of our PPC approved publishing the policy, and then there was a bit of an outcry from faculty who felt that mid-term was an inappropriate time to make this change. Most syllabi had language about make-up work for legitimate absences that now didn't match the change. The new policy was pulled back. A message <https://policy.umn.edu/policy-new> went up on our site, on the current policy version <https://policy.umn.edu/education/makeupwork>, and the owner used a number of communication vehicles that were used to get the word out. This was a temporary retraction vs. a full rescission but we have processes to make it happen. I'm attaching our change form, a link to the article about delaying the policy change, and how we make it known on our policy site.
