On March 24, 2023, the UVU Policy Office published its Writer's Guide that describes the purpose and content of each section of the policy template. The guide also explains how to develop and write a policy draft and how to work with the Policy Office to move drafts through the shared governance policy review process. The guide also explains how to use the tools and resources the Policy Office has developed for policy stewards and drafting committees, including editorial checklists. In the coming weeks, additional sections will be added that describe the four policy processes and how to develop a policy for each and will include any necessary resources for successfully completing a policy that is accessible to readers and contains relevant content and guidance.
In addition, today, March 30, 2023, the UVU Policy Office published an update to the EAC web page on the Policy Office website. This page now contains a detailed explanation of the EAC process and all the related terms. It is available at this link but will also be linked into the Writer's Guide.
A link to the Writer's Guide can be found here. The guide can also be found on a tab at the top of the Policy Office home page.
Any feedback to the online writer’s guide and the EAC web page is welcome and encouraged. To provide feedback, contact the Policy Office with the link included below.
