Anthony, We publish our administrative procedures both in the same documents with the policies and without. Our “policy on policies” covers the review and approval processes applicable to both. You may view this policy at: http://public.wsu.edu/~forms/HTML/EPM/EP5_Policy_Approval_and_Distribution.htm
We often update procedures without adjusting the policy. However, if both are included in the same section, the revision date applies to the entire document. The revision process is the same, but the level of administration approval required for procedural-only revisions is different than for revisions that include policy changes, as indicated in EP5 above. For further reference as to how we write and organize our policies and procedures, you’re welcome to take a look at any of the three administrative manuals my office publishes for WSU, at: * http://public.wsu.edu/~forms/HTML/BPPM/01.01_Table_of_Contents.htm * http://www.wsu.edu/manuals_forms/HTML/SPPM/1_Introduction-Organization/1.01_SPPM_TOC--By_Chapter.htm * http://public.wsu.edu/~forms/HTML/EPM/EP00b_Intro_and_Table_of_Contents--topical.htm (I’m sending you the link to the topical index for our Executive Policy Manual, organized by policy function.)

Does anyone have a specific policy on procedures? If you have procedures embedded in a policy (like Cornell) do you ever update procedures without adjusting the policy? If you have procedures in a separate document (like Minnesota) do you have specific instructions for managing procedure updates? I haven’t been able to find anything specific to procedures looking around. Thanks, Tony Graham Manager Sarbanes-Oxley 3100 Cathedral of Learning University of Pittsburgh 412-624-4206
