Drake University policies are maintained centrally in the University Policy Library.  Policies are grouped by category for easy reference.  In addition, you may search the policy library using key terms. The development or revision of existing policies follows the Policy Development, Approval, and Communication Policy.  This policy includes links to a policy template and procedures for new policy adoption.

An example of a new policy that recently went through the policy development process is the Paid Parental Leave Policy, which took effect July 1, 2018. Watch OnCampus throughout the year for announcements about new policy proposals. Proposed policies will be published for a period of fifteen business days so that various stakeholders and members of the campus community will have the opportunity to comment on the proposed policy.
