The Operations Manual
(www.uiowa.edu/~our/opmanual), a compilation of policies
that have been approved by the UI president, is the
University’s official statement of policy.
Because the manual has legal force, it is critical
that it accurately reflect current policy.
While approved revisions may be submitted throughout
the year for immediate publication, DEOs who received
the Sept. 30 memorandum and update form should perform
this annual review of all policies and procedures
in their area of responsibility. Any changes that
have
been approved but not yet submitted should be sent
as soon as possible, but no later than Nov. 12, 2004,
to Eileen Bartos, University Relations, 300 PCO,
(38)4-0050, or eileen-bartos@uiowa.edu. Revisions
exceeding one
paragraph in length should be submitted in both hard
copy and electronic form.
We also invite your assistance in assuring that
policies in the manual are linked, as appropriate,
to web
sites containing supplementary departmental or
unit procedures
within their area of responsibility. For instance,
V-4.1 Receipt of Funds includes a link to detailed
cash handling policies and procedures. Many such
links are in place, but please send additonal links
that
would be helpful.
For information on the approval process, see the
Protocol for Approval of University Policies
at www.uiowa.edu/~our/opmanual/i/protocol.htm. The
Offices of the General Counsel and of the Vice
President for Finance and Operations also are
available
to assist with policy development and review.
If you
have questions, contact Eileen Bartos or Gerhild
Krapf, 4 JH, (33)5-1886, gerhild-krapf@uiowa.edu.
