Policies and Regulations

EKU has implemented on an interim basis a Policy on Policies effective November 10, 2008.

Through the practice of shared governance, the Policy on Policies allows for the formal development, approval, and dissemination of University policies using a transparent and inclusive vetting process. The formalization of a policy process will enable EKU to manage university-level policies in a consistent manner and in a way that will make policies more accessible. All members of the University community may be called upon to assist in policy development.

This Policy on Policies itself has received a high degree of vetting, but before declaring it a mission accomplished, it was recommended to me that we “test drive” it and test it. So in the vernacular of computer program development, consider this a beta testing exercise. Implementing this policy on an interim basis will afford the University the opportunity to use the new process for several pending policies, while allowing us to monitor the efficacy of the process. At the same time, we will continue to vet the Policy on Policies through the newly established process, with a goal of adopting a final version that will well serve our needs.

This website is in development and will house all existing official University policies and associated regulations.

- President Doug Whitlock
