On Thursday, December 10, 2020, President’s Council approved the following policy actions:
Deletions of Stage 1 Policy Drafts from the Policy Pipeline
At President Tuminez’s direction, division vice presidents, with the assistance of their policy coordinators, determined which Stage 1 policy drafts could be pulled from the Policy Pipeline to prioritize remaining policy drafts in development.
The attached memo, which was reviewed and approved by President's Council, lists the policy drafts proposed for deletion from the Pipeline. In accordance with President's Council's decision, the Policy Office has removed the listed policies from the Pipeline. The policies that remain in the Pipeline will be the focus of current policy development.

Memo of Proposed Changes to Policy 101
Vice President LInda Makin (Chief Policy Officer) and the Policy Office, in consultation with the Policy Coordinator Committee, have created the Policy 101 Summary of Changes Memo, which summarizes proposed revisions for Policy 101. Because Policy 101 is the foundation of the Policy Manual and UVU's shared governance model, input from Academic Affairs Council, Faculty Senate, PACE, and UVUSA is being gathered before Policy 101 is submitted to President's Council for entrance to Stage 2 (the stage at which shared governance entities provide input on the proposed policy draft).
