Performance Improvement Policy Open for all-campus, 30-day Review
Substantive revisions to University Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual (UAP) 3215: Performance Improvement are available for an all-campus, 30-day review and comment period from August 18 through September 18, 2022.
Because the revisions are so significant, a clean-copy version of the policy is available for review, however a redline version of the policy draft was not possible.
In order to assist in your review, a “preamble” outlining the major revisions to the policy, and three draft process documents (referenced in the revised policy) have also been provided. The Division of Human Resources has advised that the draft process documents are based on the proposed policy revisions, and will remain as drafts until revisions to UAP 3215 have been approved and published. Only the proposed policy revisions are available for comment via this process.
Please click on the draft policy title below to review and comment on the policy revisions by end of day September 18, 2022. We look forward to hearing from you!
