UNM policies issued, revised
Pets, computers, emergencies addressed
The office of University Business Policies has issued four new policies. The
policies were approved by President William C. Gordon with an effective date
of July 1. Earlier this year, each proposed policy statement was distributed
to deans, directors, department heads and the campus for review and comment.
We would like to thank faculty and staff members for taking time to review
the proposed policy statements, said Carol Stephens, manager of University
Business Policies.
In addition, seven existing policies were revised to reflect changes in procedures,
include new rates, clarify current practices, or comply with new accounting
regulations.
The University Business Policies website http://www.unm.edu/~ubppm
contains a discussion of the changes made to the proposed policy statements
to address concerns raised by the campus and the changes made to existing policies.

animals are prohibited and lists owner responsibilities.
