University Policy & Standards Manual

The University Policy and Standards Manual (UPSM) provides the university's governing framework. The University Policies and University Standards found within the UPSM express the goals, values, and culture of the university. Collectively, they provide the authority and guidance to university units, employees, students, agents, contractors, licensees, and volunteers that is required to achieve the university’s mission, and outline the relevant responsibilities to the university community. A University Policy is governing statement and set of expected behaviors that enhances the university's mission, promotes operational efficiencies, manages institutional risk, and helps ensure coordinated compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and collective bargaining agreements. While a University Policy is enforceable against employees, students, agents, contractors, licensees, volunteers and program participants, it does not have the regulatory force of law pursuant to ORS 352.087(1)(m). A University Standard is a governing statement and set of expected behaviors broadly relevant throughout the university and to those who interact with the university, that enhances the university's mission, promotes operational efficiencies, manages institutional risk, or helps ensure coordinated compliance with applicable laws and regulations. University Standards are enforceable against employees, students, agents, contractors, licensees, volunteers, program participants and other individuals while on university owned or controlled property, and have the regulatory force of law pursuant to ORS 352.087(1)(m), which means they are recognized by courts as determining rights and legal obligations.
