All of the policies and policy provisions which have been deleted from Board policies will remain as administrative rules unless the President changes them. The President, with the support of the administration, is in the process of reviewing all of these.
To aid in transition to the new numbering system, the old numbers of the policies (prior to July 1997) are listed in parentheses. As part of the policy consolidation process, a regular schedule for monitoring compliance with these policies was developed. That timeline is also included here.
