Statement of Policy

All University policies must be approved by The Board of Regents of Eastern Michigan University.  A University policy is defined by all of the following:  a) has broad application throughout the University;  b) helps to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, promotes operational efficiencies, enhances the university’s mission or reduces institutional risks; and c) mandates actions or constraints and articulates desired outcomes.

The University administration may enact statements of procedure which prescribe specific actions to be taken to conform to established University policies, allowing for the orderly implementation of those policies.  Further, the University administration shall establish a uniform method and format for the enactment, publication and periodic review of University policies and procedures.  

The University administration is authorized to enact, implement and enforce, without Board of Regents approval, appropriate executive orders, administrative policies and divisional, college, departmental, office or local operating rules and regulations.  These administrative executive orders, policies, rules and regulations shall not conflict with University policy.
