Policy Advisory Committee (PAC)

After all of the steps of the policy consultation process are completed, the policy will be reviewed by the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC is a standing committee of University administrators that work in partnership with the administrative policy owners to review policy plans and drafts, provide feedback to the policy owners on their drafts, and to advise or make recommendations for action to the President’s Policy Committee (PPC).

The PAC meets over Zoom on a monthly basis, and consists of the administrative policy director (chair), representatives of each of the senior leaders on the PPC, and representatives from each of the system campuses.

Policy owners should send all materials to Policy Program director Seth Beccard ([email protected]) a minimum of 7 working days prior to the PAC meeting date. In addition, policy owners should fill out:

• For policies undergoing comprehensive review or policies proposed for retirement, the Administrative Policy: Comprehensive Review or Change Request form (electronic, login required).
• For new policies, the Administrative Policy Plan form (google form).
• For any policy that wants an extension of the 4-year comprehensive review cycle to 6 years, the Comprehensive Review Extension Request form (google form).

Policy owners should plan to attend the Zoom PAC meeting and make a quick 3-5 minute summary of the policy and its changes prior to a Q&A session with the PAC members.

For most policies undergoing comprehensive review, the PAC will be the final step of the process. After incorporating the changes suggested by PAC, the policy owner will send the final documents to the Policy Program to publish on the Policy Library.

Policies that are new, being retired, or contain significant revisions as determined by the Policy Program Director and PAC members will be referred onto the President's Policy Committee as the final step in the process.
