By now, you have probably seen a flurry of e-mails promoting several campus forums and follow up surveys related to these forums. Since November, the Office of Human Resources in collaboration with the University Staff Personnel Committee and more recently the Academic Staff Personnel Committee, have put together and continue to hold campus forums to discuss the developed UW System Operational Policies (OPS) and the development and revision of campus policies based off of these OPS. Below is an outline of the forums that have been held and those upcoming, along with survey results and the status of any current policy development revision.
