PROCEDURES A. General Guidelines for Developing SIAST Policies Policies are position statements that provide a broad framework for operational procedures which regulate individual and organizational action and behaviour. SIAST policies fulfill the mission, vision, values and goals of the organization and are intended to guide action, change and decision-making. They promote operational efficiencies and reduce institutional risk. Procedures related to policies are regularly reviewed to ensure processes comply with institutional policy and that current practices are reflected. Policies are reviewed a minimum of every three years for board-approved policies and every five years for president-approved policies. SIAST policies are divided into three broad subject categories: Governance, Academic, and Operations and Administrative Services. Within each category there are subsections which narrow the subject information. Policies contained within the Governance Series are subject to the approval of the board of directors. Policies within the Academic and Operations & Administrative Services Series are subject to the approval of the president and chief executive officer. Policies are organized and numbered in the following manner: Procedures to policy #G-2.8 approved by: President & CEO Category Number Governance Series Board Governance [decision-making] G-1 Organizational Policy and Accountability [directions] G-2 Legal Requirements [government] G-3 High Risk Decisions [financial, legal or reputation impact] G-4 Academic Series Programming A-1 Student Affairs and Services A-2 Operations & Administrative Services Series Finance O-1 Human Resources O-2 Information Resources O-3 Donor and Alumni Relations O-4 Established departmental or unit operating procedures or processes are subject to SIASTwide policies.
