Policies & Procedures Manual
This manual serves as a guideline and instructional tool covering Administrative Affairs responsibilities, authorities and actions. This manual has special value in insuring necessary uniformity of policy and administration. Accordingly, Administrative Affairs personnel are expected to discharge their responsibilities in the manner prescribed by the appropriate statements of policy, procedure and practice defined in the manual.
A Policy is a guide to management action - particularly it is a guide to management as to which course of action to take in situations where sound judgement could lead to different courses of action. The President, as chief administrative officer of the University or Campus, may issue policy statements defining his wishes regarding various matters; such statements however, must be consistent with policies of the Board of Regents, and must be within the limits established by the Board. Similarly, policies established by the Vice President for Administrative Affairs, and/or other respective Vice Presidents, to guide the affairs of a particular area of responsibility must conform to the policies of the President and the Board of Regents.
A Procedure is a definition of the specific or particular manner of proceeding in a course of action. The procedures in this manual are specific instructions which describe the services available within Administrative Affairs, the means by which these services may be obtained, and the processes by which the various business functions of the University are performed. PROCEDURES MUST CONFORM TO ESTABLISHED POLICIES.
As the University modifies existing policies and procedures or establishes new policies and procedures, they will be incorporated into this manual. Any such revision will be made and issued before the beginning of the new fiscal year.
