All policies contained in this Policy Manual are effective as of the date enacted by the Board, regardless of whether updated versions are readily available. Policies are binding on all members of the Board of Trustees, officers, employees, students and visitors to the System.

This 2008 copy of the Policy Manual replaces all previous System policy manuals and handbooks. To the extent that any procedure is inconsistent with this Policy Manual, the Policy Manual shall control. To the extent that any policy in this Manual is inconsistent with State or Federal law, the State or Federal law shall control. The System and each college are responsible for making faculty, staff and student handbooks, procedures and administrative practices consistent with the policies contained in this Policy Manual. The online version of the Policy Manual will be revised each year to provide "hot links" to related procedures.

Decisions to change, amend or delete local policies contained in this Policy Manual require the approval of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees at a duly constituted public meeting of the Board of Trustees. The Board does not act to adopt or revise the legally referenced policies.

Nothing contained in this policy constitutes an employment contract or an offer to contract with any employee. Nothing contained in this Policy Manual changes the employment at will status of any employee, nor creates any additional rights, remedies at law or expectations of continued employment.
