Policy updates

December 03, 2018
Voluntary Alternative Dispute Resolution System

Deleted
The voluntary alternative dispute resolution program is no longer a function of the Human Resources department. The program has been revised and will have oversight through the President's office. A policy regarding an ADR program is not required, and rather than maintain a voluntary policy, the program details will be defined in an internal procedural document. College handbooks/policies will also be revised to reflect the procedures and changes to the program.
