Approved New Policies<\/h2>\n

Export Control and Controlled Data (Policy 5120)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Approved 08\/04\/2023<\/em>
\nThis new policy was developed to ensure the university is meeting its obligations under U.S. export control laws and regulations. As a growing research university, particularly in semiconductor devices, the university is entering into more advanced technical areas with Department of Defense funding and CHIPS Act funding, both of which require tightened research security related to export controls and controlled data.
\n
\nProfessional Employee Terms of Employment (Policy 7660)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Approved 08\/17\/2023<\/em>
\nThis new policy was developed to outline the terms of employment and at-will employment status for professional employees pursuant to Idaho State Board of Education Policy, Sections II.F. and II.H. This policy replaces the Professional Staff Employees – Definition and Employment Contracts (Policy 7280) policy which was approved for deletion.<\/p>\n

Approved Policy Revisions<\/h2>\n

Approval of Special Course or Program Fees (Policy 4200)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Revised 09\/21\/2023<\/em>
\nThis policy was revised to allow faculty travel associated with the supervision of internships, externships, student teaching within the Boise State service region, or clinical or field experiences required of students, to now be an authorized special course or program fee. In addition, language was added under Section 5.c. clarifying that if a professional or program fee is applied to a course, then the course fee must be evaluated for addition or removal as it is expected that when professional or program fee exist, course fees will not.<\/p>\n

Time Away from Work (Policy 7620)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Revised 09\/21\/2023<\/em>
\nThis policy was revised under Section 4.5 – Lactation Breaks, to bring the policy into alignment with the recent passage of the PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act (\u201cPump Act\u201d). The revisions require employees to be completely relieved from duty and to be paid for break time to express breast milk. Employees approved for telecommuting are also eligible to take lactation breaks on the same basis as other employees.<\/p>\n

Compensation (Policy 7650)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– Revised\u00a009\/21\/2023<\/em>
\nThis policy was revised under Section 7.9 – Merit Increase, to update the requirements for when a merit increase must be approved by the Provost, the President, or the appropriate vice president. The new requirements are as follows:<\/p>\n

-The requested increase is greater than twenty-five (25%) of the employee\u2019s current compensation.<\/p>\n

-The requested increase is for a Classified employee who is on entrance, voluntary, or promotional probation (first 1,040 hours worked).<\/p>\n

In addition, language was also added under Section 7.9 \u2013 Merit Increase, to clarify that merit increases will generally be awarded no more than once in any fiscal year. However, based on a legitimate business need, such as a significant reorganization in the department, a merit increase may be awarded more often. Absent extraordinary circumstances, merit increases may not be awarded less than 6 months apart.<\/p>\n

Desktop, Laptop, and Tablet PC Computing (Policy 8030)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Revised 09\/20\/2023<\/em>
\nThis policy was rewritten to update the standards for hardware, software, backups, and best practices.<\/p>\n

Institutional Messaging (Policy 8100)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Revised 08\/16\/2023<\/em>
\nThis policy was revised to allow the university to send mass text messages to students who have opted-in to receive text messages for official university communications.<\/p>\n

Communicable Disease (Policy 9270)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Revised 08\/14\/2023<\/em>
\nThis policy was revised to update the reportable and restrictable diseases under Section 3.2 in alignment with IDAPA 16.02.10 that was updated in March of 2022. In addition, the definition of \u201cexposure\u201d was revised deleting specific references to COVID-19; the definitions for \u201cfacial covering\u201d and \u201cphysical distancing\u201d were revised bringing them into alignment with CDC guidelines; the definitions for \u201crestriction,\u201d \u201creportable disease,\u201d and \u201crestrictable disease\u201d were added to comport with IDAPA 16.02.10; and Section 8 – Enforcement and Violations, was deleted.<\/p>\n

Approved Policy Deletions<\/h2>\n

Professional Staff Employees \u2013 Definition and Employment Contracts (Policy 7280)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Approved 09\/01\/23<\/em>
\nThis policy was approved for deletion as the university\u2019s professional employees are no longer employed pursuant to an employment contract. A new policy outlining the at-will employment status for professional employees has been developed (see Professional Employee Terms of Employment \u2013 Policy 7660).<\/p>\n

Non-Classified Employees Due Process and Appeal Procedures (Policy 7310)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Approved 09\/01\/23<\/em>
\nThis policy was approved for deletion. A separate policy for faculty due process is pending final approval, and professional employees were converted to an at-will employment status in 2020.<\/p>\n

Telecommuting \u2013 Remote Work (Policy 7605)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Approved 09\/01\/23<\/em>
\nThis policy was approved for deletion. The Telecommuting \u2013 Remote Work and Telecommuting \u2013 Hybrid policies were combined into one policy (see Telecommuting \u2013 Policy 7600).<\/p>\n

Approved Emergency Suspensions<\/h2>\n

Faculty Salary Determination (Policy 4430)<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Approved 07\/19\/23<\/em>
\nThis policy was suspended as the procedures are out of date and do not reflect the state-mandated requirements for distribution of change in employee compensation (CEC). The policy was last revised in January of 2008. A new version will be drafted using a faculty ad-hoc committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
