Policy Manual Update -
Progress Report

 

As you will recall, the last major
update of the policy manual oc-:
curred in November of 1985. Since
then, there have been a number of
changes - the addition of new
policies, the revision of existing
policies, and the withdrawal of
others. This has come about, in
part, as a result of the natural evolu-
tion of the institution. As well,
between November 1985 and the
present date, there has been a
thorough review of all existing
policy. This review has also
resulted in a number of the chan-
ges. All changes have received the
approval of the College Board.

It seems timely to provide you
with a status report, and to high-
light the changes, so that everyone
remains current.

I will address the changes to the
Policy Manual first.

EDUCATIONAL POLICY

All Educational Policy has been
the subject of careful and thorough
