Policy Development

The Office of Operational Review facilitates the development of new policies and the revision of existing policies that affect the University of Louisiana at Lafayette community. While the Office of Operational Review is responsible for maintaining the policy document’s integrity and guiding the development of a policy, responsibility for its content resides with the responsible executive, typically a University vice president.

Several companion documents have been created to aid responsible executives and responsible officers in the policy development and adoption process:

• Policy Action Form - Appendix B
• Policy Development Checklist
• Policy Development Flowchart
• Policy Template - Appendix A
• Responsible Executive List - Appendix C

We highly encourage you to use these documents to make development and promulgation of University policies more efficient.

If you have additional questions, you can contact the University Policy Coordinator by e-mail at policies@louisiana.edu, or by telephone at (337) 482-1394.
