Policy updates for November

Effective Nov. 1, the following new and revised systemwide policies are in effect:

• Ethical Recruitment of Students (III.A.7): This new policy codifies Purdue’s commitment to recruiting students, including military service members and veterans, using practices that adhere to the highest standards of integrity.
• Records Retention and Disposal (VIII.A.5): Revisions to this policy create a Records Retention Committee to oversee the program, with records coordinators in each unit to carry out retention and disposal processes.
• Dispute Resolution (VI.D.1) and Faculty Grievances (I.B.1): These policies were updated to align with the intent of the Terms and Conditions of Employment of Lecturers (VI.F.4), which provides lecturers access to HR’s alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process. The process appoints a trained ADR specialist to manage the informal stage of a dispute and includes representation of lecturers on the review committee if the dispute goes to the formal stage.

Visit the new and revised policies page on the University Policy Office website for a link to the full text of these systemwide policies. 

Note: Policies and standards do not apply to Purdue Global, as it maintains its own policies and standards.
