Part I. Governance consists
of two divisions: one containing a description of governance, statutory
authorizations, and mission statements of University of Iowa units;
and the other containing "Affiliated Organizations" -- organizations
that are legally distinct from The University of Iowa but are affiliated with the University by virtue of their related missions. Part
II. Community Policies includes policies with broad application
to all members of the University community, such as the Human Rights
Policy. Part III.
Human Resources includes policies which apply to faculty and staff. Part
IV. Students includes policies which have distinct application
to students. Part
V. Administrative, Financial, and Facilities Policies includes
all policies formerly listed under the headings "Financials" and "Buildings
and Campus Facilities." Part
VI. Services describes services available
to the entire University community. Offices/units responsible for each policy are listed in the Table
of Contents, in parentheses, following chapter and policy name.
When applicable, policy texts are followed by their legal sources:
IC=Iowa Code, IAC=Iowa Administrative Code, RPM=Regents
Policy Manual, CFR=Code
of Federal Regulations.
Some of the more complex policies are followed by a "Review" that includes
a policy summary and/or frequently asked questions. The Office of the General
Counsel continues to offer assistance in interpreting policies and presenting
training sessions. The Offices of the General Counsel and of the Senior Vice President
for Finance and Operations may be contacted for facilitating policy development
and review.
Please check What's
New in the University of Iowa Operations Manual for redlined versions
of policies added or amended throughout the year. We also will continue to
notify the University community of new policies through fyi and other
campus publications.
Reference copies of the Operations Manual are available in the following offices: President, Executive Vice President and Provost, Vice Presidents, General Counsel, Ombudsperson, Equal Opportunity and Diversity, Human Resources, University
