WSU Policies and Procedures: What's New

The Department of Financial Operations and Business Technology set fourth initial revisions. Notable changes required were the following: • Added “Balances owed on account” as a university covered account. • Added verbiage addressing the PLUS loans refund being direct deposited in the parent’s bank account. • Eliminated reference to training being provided on an annual basis. • Added verbiage under Periodic Review section. • Added section “Non-disclosure of Specific Practices”.

Formal, written HVAC standards for usage in all buildings owned and leased by WSU. This primarily addresses expectations on appropriate set points for heating and cooling seasons, along with a procedure for staff or faculty to report temperature variances or concerns. REQUESTED BY:  Crystal Stegeman, University Property Manager;  Bob Smith, Executive Director, Facilities Services.

Revised the language of section III.

The NIAR Contracts Department has recently negotiated several federal subcontracts that are governed under federal contracting regulation, FAR 52.222-50 Combating Human Trafficking in Persons. We have researched university policy pertaining to this FAR provision and found a brief reference to this provision on the WSU HR website. To insure that the University is in full compliance with this FAR provision, we are proposing a more detailed formal policy and “plan” be adopted by the University to ensure compliance.

Added Alhberg Hall, CAC Theater and Outdoor spaces to the list of event services reservable spaces.
