University Policy 410, Policy and Procedure for Student Appeals of Final Course Grades, has been revised to require consultation with the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX when grade appeals relate to discrimination issues.
University Policy 411, Student Grievance Procedure, has been revised to remove all discrimination or discriminatory harassment complaints from its purview.
University Policy 101.5, Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Plan, has been revised to mirror University Policy 501, Nondiscrimination, with respect to the list of protected statuses. The name has also been changed to help eliminate confusion related to University Policy 501.
University Policy 501.2 has been rescinded, because its substance is now captured in University Policy 501, Nondiscrimination.
University Policy 503 is rescinded, because based on court cases, fighting words harassment as an exception to free speech protection has been significantly curtailed if not eliminated.
University Policy 502, Sexual Misconduct and Interpersonal Violence, has been simplified, and many of the definitions and other procedural pieces have been removed. This Policy applies to students, faculty, and staff. All employees are required to report alleged violations of the Policy. The Office of Civil Rights and Title IX will have more detailed procedural documents available on its website for different classes of respondents.
University Policy 101.22, Flexible Work Arrangements for SHRA and EHRA Non-Faculty Employees, has been revised as a response to one of the primary recommendations of the Post-Pandemic Workforce Task Force report. The revisions are intended to be more clear about University expectations regarding Telework and Remote Work. The revisions include defining the terms "Flexible Work Arrangements," “Flexible Schedule,” “Telework,” and “Remote Work” and describing the parameters for each, as well as moving the more procedural provisions into Supplemental Procedures rather than keeping them in the Policy itself.
The Supplemental Procedures include a detailed explanation of the process for how employees, managers, and divisional leadership can propose Flexible Work Arrangements and the process by which these arrangements are approved. In addition, the Procedures clarify how out-of-state Telework or Remote Work arrangements must be handled and processed.
The Telework Guidance for Supervisors includes guidance to supervisors and managers for evaluating when Telework arrangements meet reasonable business purposes; which types of positions are appropriate for Teleworking arrangements; which types of positions are not suited for Teleworking arrangements; and additional factors to consider before approving Teleworking arrangements. The Telework Guidance also provides information on training and resources for supervisors and employees to support Teleworking success once a Teleworking arrangement has been approved.
The Remote Work/Telework Agreement and Telework and Remote Work Workspace Self-Certification Checklist have been updated to reflect the parameters and terms of the revised Policy and Supplemental Procedures.
