Here you can explore current policies, review policies in development, view the policy hierarchy and learn how policies and procedures are developed for the campus and within each division.

Types of Policies
Policy Memoranda

The Chancellor's Office publishes Policy Memoranda. These are campus-wide policies that must be followed by all members of the S&T community. They are not specific to students, staff, or faculty.

Human Resources Policies

Policies that govern employees - both staff and faculty - are published by Human Resources.

Research Policies

Research compliance is vitally important to the future of our institution, as well as the health and wellness of our community members and research subjects. Several committees oversee this compliance.

Procedure Development
Procedure Development

Procedures offer guidance on following policies and other rules. They don’t have to be written or published. They should follow similar development processes to policies, though.

Campus policies must go through a rigorous, multiple-step process that involves the entire campus.

Campus policies put forth by university divisions, departments, and/or colleges must go through a multiple-step process that involves their division and the administration in their direct reporting line.

Compliance Hierarchy
Compliance Hierarchy

Not all rules are created equal. When two rules cannot both be followed, one is more important. The compliance hierarchy is a guide to determining which must be followed.

Grievances

If you have a complaint about a possible equity violation - discrimination, harassment, and/or sexual misconduct - please follow the procedures as outlined by the Equity Office.

If you are a student with a complaint about a possible policy violation, please follow the procedures as outlined by the Dean of Students.

If you have a complaint about a possible policy violation involving faculty behavior, please follow the procedures as outlined by the Faculty Senate.

If you do not know the proper procedure to follow, or you do not believe that your complaint about a possible policy violation falls under one of the above three categories, please contact the S&T Grievance Committee.
