Public Review & Feedback
Your feedback matters! Comments submitted during the public review period are collected and shared with the policy owner for consideration. Public feedback is also provided to the appropriate University leadership and approval bodies as the policy moves through the review and approval process.
This process provides an opportunity for the University community to share perspectives, identify concerns, and offer suggestions that may help strengthen University policies. Feedback is considered as part of the overall review process, with any necessary action determined by the appropriate University leadership.
We appreciate everyone who takes the time to participate in the University’s policy review process.
