Policy Advisory Committee

The Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) is a standing committee authorized by the president to review and approve all university-wide policy plans and policy drafts and to recommend policy actions for finalization before review, acceptance, and approval by the President’s Council.

The PAC also serves as an advisory group to the president on policies, making suggestions on amendments to existing policies, and reviewing new policies for practicality, clarity, and adequacy of the document to the university’s operations. The PAC will also consider how the draft language might affect operations in other areas and where appropriate make suggestions on incorporating concerns expressed by community members in the affected areas.

The PAC reviews policy plans, drafts, and review forms to ensure that appropriate due diligence has been conducted to support the policy plan and that a policy does not conflict with other policies, with the mission of the university, laws and regulations, regional and specialized accreditation, or other mission-critical priorities.
