Background regarding administrative policy review process
The new Administrative Policy Review and Creation Processes will launch January 1, 2026, as a pilot for university-wide adoption. These processes are the culmination of efforts aligned with Strategic Priority 4 of CMU’s 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, as the university identified opportunities for improved coordination and communication around policy work. Since 2025, the Administrative Policy Review Committee has worked to implement this process.
