Policy on employing family members posted for 30-day review

The Human Resources Department under the division of Business and Financial Affairs has posted the following policy for 30-day campus review. The comment period runs from Oct. 28 to Nov. 26.

POL-U5410.01 Employing Family Members and Significant Others

The above policy is a substantial revision to our current policy. This policy applies to all non-faculty employment positions, including student employment.

The draft policy was 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 policy will be posted October 28 – November 26, 2010 and the campus community is encouraged to review these documents online. Please feel free to pass this announcement on to other colleagues. Written comments may be sent to Policies@wwu.edu or to the University Policy Coordinator, Mail Stop 9015.
