The revisions to this University Policy add new provisions regarding accounting for lost time when the University is on a delayed schedule and clarify existing provisions regarding accounting for lost time when the University is closed or classes are canceled. The revisions also specify that faculty and non-faculty employees who telework or work in alternate locations not affected by the adverse weather or unusual conditions are expected to work their normal schedule. Finally, the term “hazardous” in the title and text of the University Policy is changed to "adverse,” to correlate with the terminology of the State policy.
These revisions correspond with the Registrar's practice of releasing a student's directory information previously withheld at the student's request only after the Registrar receives the student's written authorization to do so. Formerly, if the student filed the necessary form requesting that the Registrar not release directory information, that request expired after one year. The change provides better Registrar management of student requests to withhold directory information.
Revisions eliminate the requirement that administrators provide the Chancellor with an Annual Report Summary ("ARS") about submission of EPA departmental conflicts of interest forms. However, each full-time and part-time EPA employee will continue to submit the "Annual Evaluation Form for Possible Conflicts of Interest" as required by the Board of Governors.
Revisions clarify the tuition privilege for eligible faculty and staff during the summer instructional period (one course over the entire summer), and make minor grammatical changes.
HIPAA is a 1996 federal statute with many purposes related to health care information.

Revisions include
This University Policy was revised to clarify and emphasize the University's responsibility to protect and preserve all University Property. Such revisions include provisions requiring that all University employees have the obligation to report actual or attempted arson, damage, theft, embezzlement, or misuse of any State-owned personal property, buildings or other real property. These revisions are partly in response to heightened scrutiny of state agency loss-control measures by North Carolina Executive Branch officials.
A revision to this University Policy clarifies that full-time faculty and EPA staff salaries can be approved by the Chancellor and Board of Trustees.
In these revisions 1) the term "Research Postdoctoral Fellow" has been changed to "Postdoctoral Fellow;" 2) the word "should" has been changed to "must" to reflect the requirement that Postdoctoral Fellows hold a doctoral degree or the equivalent; and 3) language has been added to clarify the process for hiring Postdoctoral Fellows.
Revisions to this University Policy 1) set out the basic subject matter of the Board of Governors' policy; 2) require that the Office of the Associate Provost for Research ensure that approved research proposals comply with the University policy; and 3) stress the need to coordinate through the Associate Provost for Research any agreement that improperly restricts the freedom of faculty and students to publish research findings.
