New policy on Whistleblower Act up for 30-day review

The President’s Office has posted the following policy for 30-day campus review:

POL-U1000.15 Administering the State Employee Whistleblower Act

The proposed policy is a new policy. The policy will notify staff of their Whistleblower rights, explain how the university will administer the Act, and establish authorities for maintaining compliance.

The draft policies were reviewed by groups and individuals across campus and revised to reflect their input. A 30-day comment period is required prior to the final draft review by the President’s Cabinet. The policies will be posted November 16 – December 15 and the campus community is encouraged to review these documents at http://www.wwu.edu/policies/30dayreview.shtml. Written comments may be sent to policies@wwu.edu or to University Policy Coordinator, Mail Stop 9015.
