On October 5, 2026, UVU's President’s Council approved the following policy action:
Entrance to Stage 3 Board of Trustees Review
Policy 101 Policy Governing Policies
Approval Process: Regular
Policy Sponsor: Clark Collings
Policy Steward: Cara O'Sullivan
Policy Action: Limited Scope Revision
President's Council Action: Entrance to Stage 3 Board of Trustees Review
Policy Document: Policy 101
Who does this apply to? University leaders and policy sponsors involved with the policy decision-making process
What changes were made to this policy? Upon a recommendation from the Policy Office, President's Council determined that the policy subcommittee could be removed from the policy process. Originally, the policy subcommittee was intended to be a subgroup of President's Council members who would meet to assess whether a draft was ready to be submitted to the entire council. In recent years, we noted that increasingly most policy drafts were being approved to go on to President's Council and that the policy subcommittee meeting was becoming redundant with President's Council. Therefore, it was determined we could remove this step from the policy process to increase efficiency. To formalize this change in university policy process, all references to the policy subcommittee were removed from Policy 101 through limited scope revisions. (Limited scope revision means that only those parts of the policy being revised are open to commentary.) Academic Affairs Council, Equity Assessment Committee, Faculty Senate, PACE, and UVUSA did not have any comments or concerns about this revision.
Now that this policy is in Stage 3, what does this mean for me? This policy will now enter Board of Trustees review and approve at their October meeting.
