News and Updates

January 2012 Update:
The President has approved revisions to several existing policies as well as removed policy 2140, the Health & Wellness Advisory Board.  Summaries of the approvals made are as follows:

Independent Contractors (6150) – This policy has been updated to reflect the changes in the criteria the IRS uses to determine whether an individual working for the University is an independent contractor or an employee.

Endowed Chair Policy (11030) – The policy was modified to specify the source of funding and methodology for calculating the salary of an endowed chair.  The changes also clarify the opportunities and process for renewal.

Equal Opportunity Statement (1070) – The new Equal Opportunity Statement outlines the Universities status as an equal opportunity employer and replaces the previous Affirmative Action provisions.  This change was made at the direction of the Office of Civil Rights.

Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment (1060) – Combines the previous Non-discrimination and Anti-Harassment policies into one, and replaces the previous Affirmative Action provisions.  Within the new policy, additional modifications were made to the grievance procedures with respect to claims for discrimination and retaliation.  These modifications were made to comply with directions from the Office of Civil Rights.

In an effort to better organize institutional policies, we have revised the Table of Contents and renumbered all existing policies. If you know the old number of the policy you’re looking for, please open the Conversion Chart (pdf) to locate the new number. You can also search for policies by clicking on the Policy Manual link and entering keywords or policy numbers (new or old).

Take a look around, see what’s new, and contact us at policyinfo@boisestate.edu if you have questions.
