Policy Statement

Types of Policies

There are the four types of policies at Wiley College:

Board of Trustees (“BOT”) Policy: addresses governance of the College and requires a majority approval of the Board of Trustees. The authority to determine when a policy warrants Board of Trustees level of approval rests with the Board and the President with the advice of College Counsel.

Presidential Policy: policy that promulgates the President’s decisions on the operation of the College, Board of Trustees action, changes in law or new administrative issues within the College itself. Presidential Policy is issued by the President of the College with the advice of College Counsel and expires 90 days after the end of the President’s term in office. Board of Trustees approval is not required.

Administrative Policies: addresses critical operational matters to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies at the federal, state or local levels. Administrative Policies do not address practice or procedures, and have broad application throughout the College. Administrative Policy is subject to approval by the President, applicable Vice President, or respective designee for policy issuance and major revisions. Board of Trustees approval is not required.

Interim Policy: provisional policy issued by the Board of Trustees or the President that satisfies an emergent need or exigency.
