About Policies
What Is a Policy?
A policy is defined as a specific statement of principles or guiding actions that imply clear commitment by the University; a statement of values or intent that provides a basis for consistent decision making and resource allocation; or a definite method or course of action selected to guide and determine present and future decisions.

There are several reasons that policies are established, including:

  • To respond to legal or regulatory guidelines
  • To resolve a conflict or problem
  • To recognize the legitimate interest of all parties
  • Overall benefits
