Regent Policies

Regent Policies guide the University by incorporating the Board of Regents’ philosophies, expectations, and priorities. Regent Policies create administrative structures, set priorities, delegate authority, assign responsibility, ensure accountability, and define reporting requirements. Regent Policies are concise, understandable, and contain minimal detail. Regent Policies provide the foundation for the development of efficient and transparent University Regulations and Procedures (“URPs”). Regent Policies are enduring rather than responsive to a particular issue. Regent Policies may be adopted or revised by a majority of Board members at a Board meeting.
