The operational group submits the draft policy to the sponsoring member of the Officers Group responsible for the area charged with developing the policy. The sponsoring member either approves or asks for additional clarification or modification.
Once the sponsoring member approves, the operational group either files the policy (if it is internal) or the Policy Specialist forwards it to the General Counsel for legal review. The General Counsel either approves the policy or proposes modifications.
Once the General Counsel has approved the policy, it is returned to the Policy Specialist for continued processing.
Additionally, if a University committee or task force develops a policy, that group can forward the policy to the Policy Specialist for further action.
