University Disclaimer:
"University Policy Statements are established for the purpose of campus governance. Policy Statements serve to implement or interpret various laws, rules, regulations or policies and/or reflect the University's chosen method of managing its affairs. The University takes due care to assure that Policy Statements, when issued, are in compliance with then applicable controlling laws, rules, regulations and policies. However, it is recognized that changes in such laws, rules, regulations and policies may result in all of a portion of a Policy Statement becoming incorrect until necessary revision is made. Please be advised that, in such cases, those portions of Policy Statements that are contrary to or in conflict with any controlling law, rule, regulation or policy are invalid. To the extent that the remainder of a Policy Statement is unaffected by a change in controlling laws, rules, regulations or policies, that remaining portion of the Policy Statement will remain valid and in effect. Policy Statements do not form a part of any employee's contract or appointment with the University."
