The revision of this university policy clarifies that the Safety and Health Director has the responsibility to plan and recommend safety and health programs and must maintain appropriate accident records. The Director of Personnel no longer maintains those records. The Safety and Health Director reports to the Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs through the Director of Human Resources. In addition, the University Safety and Health Committee is responsible for University-wide policy issues and serves as an advisory unit to the Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs. An operational safety committee shall be appointed by the Chancellor to assist the University Safety Committee in performing various functions. Final prioritization of funding for safety compliance rests with the Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs, with recommendations from specified administrators and committees.

This university policy has been revised to reflect that the Human Resources Department, rather than the Personnel Department, has certain responsibilities regarding classification of positions subject to the State Personnel Act. In addition, department/office heads and their subordinate supervisors may either prepare or delegate the preparation of position descriptions for new positions. New position or reclassification requests require the submission of a Position Description, an Organizational Chart, and a Checklist for Determining General Mental and Physical Requirements to the Human Resources Department. For new positions, the information is analyzed to determine the appropriate classification, and a written analysis of the proposed job content is prepared and forwarded to the Office of State Personnel for review and final approval. For reclassifications, the information is analyzed to determine of the revisions in duties and responsibilities justify reclassification.

Under the section on Appeals, the revised policy more fully sets forth the procedures for a student appealing an adverse decision by the Hearing Panel, including the requirement that the student must submit a written brief in support of the appeal, separately stating each ground upon which the student claims the Hearing Panel committed error. The revised policy also provides that upon review of the Hearing Panel's decision, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs may, among other things, remand the case for a new hearing before a Hearing Panel composed of members of the Academic Integrity Board who have not previously participated in the case.
Finally, under the section on Advice to Faculty Members, the policy includes a reminder to faculty that intent is an element of any academic integrity offense, and a student who submits a group project containing material plagiarized by a second student in the group has not violated academic integrity unless the first student knew of the plagiarism.
