New Business:
Red Flag Policy:
Deadline is Dec. 31, 2010
Dr. Jordan would like RPIPC to have something presented to Senate at the next meeting.
The plan will be to comply with the necessary mandates. Since departments can alter the parameters around the policy for their purposes, there will be general procedures that will need to be covered by all areas.
Old Business:
Motor Vehicle Policy:
Diane updated the documents based on the feedback from the last meeting.
Question: Was a reference to the utility cart policy put in place?
The policy regarding utility cart that was passed last year through RPIPC, could be used as a cross reference. Diane will add something regarding current procedure in the FAQ section.
FAQ Sheet: Does the policy apply to "students that are not employed", should we include the possibility of student volunteers. The primary role of the student would be a student role.
Diane will replace the language of Motor Vehicle Use Policy to Motor Vehicle Policy.
The biggest concern for most people will be regarding driving their own vehicles. It explains it better in the policy purpose but it is more clarified than the board policy as written. All employees who receive a paycheck will be affected.
Add to definition the use of personal vehicle on university business to the policy purpose definition.
Suggestion: first sentence in the policy purpose should include the explanation that the policy applies to state owned or personal vehicle, if you are on university business.
Documents being reviewed:
- Driver Acknowledgment form (needs to be completed every year along with travel authorization).
- Reporting forms (only completed when an accident occurs).
- Policy Statement
- FAQs
