University Policy Review Schedule
To meet our commitment outlined in the established University Policy Principles that university policies are living documents, the Office of Ethics, Compliance, and Risk (OECR) has instituted a biennial-based review to prioritize effective reviews for each Responsible Office. Responsible Offices will review their policies every other year on an established schedule. For instance, if a policy is reviewed in the 2024-2025 academic year, it will be up for review again in the 2026-2027 academic year. A review process may be initiated for a policy outside of the set cycle as a result of a regulatory change, or operational or risk-based need. The schedule was made based on recent campus events and announcements centering on meaningful community engagement and transparency, and changing laws and regulations. More information outlining each Responsible Office and their next slated review period can below.
Please note, the listed dates below are futuristic in nature and may not represent a review that is currently in process.
