In addition, subject to the approval of policies through the University Policy Committee, the Governance Committee shall draft and maintain policies and standards necessary to ensure all necessary legal, regulatory, and accreditation requirements are addressed, and commonly accepted practices are being employed across the University. The following policies and standards have been developed:
