Sean, We include such definitions in our “policy on policies,” titled Policy Approval and Distribution. You may view it at: http://public.wsu.edu/~forms/HTML/EPM/EP5_Policy_Approval_and_Distribution.htm
Hope this helps — Deb ------------------------- Deb Bartlett Director Office of Procedures, Records, and Forms Washington State University Pullman, WA 99164-1225 509-335-2004 From: Sean Brian Dermody <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: Association of College and University Policy Administrators <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, June 22, 2017 at 10:36 AM Subject: Policy Definitions / Glossary Hello All, My name is Sean Dermody and I am pleased to be a new member of ACUPA! II hope that the annual conference is going well and that I will be able to attend at a future point. In the meantime, I am hoping to tap into the expertise of this group. At my institution, we are working on a project to formalize our institutional policy on policies. One of the issues that seems to be tripping some members of our college up are questions of defining the various terms used in our policy on policies (e.g. policy vs. procedure, administrative vs. academic policy, unit-level vs. institutional-level policy, etc.). I'm wondering if anyone had a good example of policy definitions and/or a glossary of terms, or other related resources that they would be willing to share? Thank you for your assistance. Cordially, - Sean ************************************************ Sean Brian Dermody Assistant to the VP for Administration/ Director of Management Services SUNY College at Plattsburgh 101 Broad Street Plattsburgh, NY 12901 PHONE: (518) 564-2539<tel:(518)%20564-2539> FAX: (518) 564-2540<tel:(518)%20564-2540> EMAIL: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ************************************************
