GW Policy Updates


November 14, 2025

GW community members are invited to provide feedback on a new Open Access Policy, a new policy resulting from a Faculty Senate Resolution to promote and disseminate research and scholarship as widely as possible. It establishes a process for University Libraries to inform authors (defined in the policy) that their work is subject to the policy.

Additionally, the Reporting of Financial Irregularities Policy has been retired, as guidance related to reporting any form of unethical conduct, as well as violations of laws, regulations, and university policies, can be found in the Code of Ethical Conduct.
