Policy Process

New and revised policies must be formatted and developed consistent with the standards and guidelines set forth in the University's policy on Policy Development and Management, often referred to as the "Policy on Polices."

A "University Policy" must meet the following criteria:

  • has broad application or impact throughout the University across schools and administrative units, including policies whose subject matter or budgetary impact requires review and approval by an executive officer;
  • seeks to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards, promotion of operational efficiencies, enhancement of the University's mission, or reduction of institutional risks; and
  • mandates or constrains actions.

Any University member involved in the process of developing new or revised University Polices must adhere to this policy process. Questions concerning the University Policy development process should be addressed to Robert Roach, University Compliance Officer at 212-998-2075 or Robert.Roach@nyu.edu.
