000.2 Explanation of Policies and Procedures System (PPS) |
A. Scope and Purpose The Policies and Procedures System (PPS) provides a system of internal communications for developing, distributing, retaining, and revising policies, procedures, and other official communications pertaining to administrative, managerial, and operational activities. It can be selectively adapted for use by all department and functional units as well as by the University as a whole. Included in PPS are the Policies and Procedures Manual, Faculty Handbook, Helmsman, and Furman Catalogues. B. Organization The contents of the Policies and Procedures Manual are organized in ten major sections as follows: Major Sections 000 General Administration 500 Marketing and Public Relations 100 Academic Affairs 600 Intercollegiate Athletics 200 Student Services 700 Auxiliary Operations 300 Business Affairs 800 Personnel 400 Development and Alumni Affairs 900 Miscellaneous C. Issuances and Pages in the Policies and Procedures Manual and Faculty Handbook The term "issuance" refers to a separate entry (policy, procedure, announcement) with a specific PPS file number. Each page will identify originator, distribution, subject, file, date, and page. The issuances are filed in numerical sequence. D. Definitions 1. A policy is a broad statement of general intent that tells what is permitted or expected. 2. A procedure is more specific instruction that tells how to do it. E. Responsibilities 1. The policy on policies states that the person responsible for a department, program, activity, or function is responsible for seeing that appropriate policies and procedures are developed and revised as deemed necessary for the effective management of the area--provided that he or she shall not issue policies or procedures that contravene those issued by higher authority. 2. The originator is responsible for coordinating policies and procedures with key persons who are involved or affected prior to distribution insofar as practical. F.

The organizational pattern for the Policies and Procedures System (PPS) outlines the various areas in which it may be desirable to issue policies, procedures, and other administrative communications as explained in File 000.2. Although this system for filing such data is broad and flexible enough to encompass all university activities, it is not intended to represent the organizational structure which may change from time to time. Also, the organizational pattern is not intended as a table of contents, but rather as an arrangement which reserves areas for future use.

000.5 Policy on Policies |
A. Background Since Furman University is committed to decentralized, participative management, there is a need to improve the University's practice of formulating, authorizing, distributing, enforcing, retaining, reviewing, and revising appropriate policies. In a decentralized system where plans and decisions are made as close to the point of implementation as possible, those in positions of responsibility must be provided with the necessary information and guidance to enable them to make the best decisions possible. Surprise must be minimized and lines of authority and communication clearly established. A policy is a statement of general intent that indicates what is permitted or expected at each level of authority. It is a standing decision that allows one to exercise both judgment and discretion, yet provides the guidance needed to maintain consistency and continuity in the management process. |
B. Policy Furman's policy on policies is that the person assigned the responsibility for a department, program, activity, or function is inherently responsible for seeing that appropriate policies pertaining to his or her area of responsibility are developed and maintained in focus, provided that no individual issues any policy that conflicts with or contravenes policies issued by a higher authority. The individual initiating a policy is responsible for reviewing written drafts with appropriate individuals responsible to him and with those individuals in parallel positions who might be affected by the policy. Prior to distribution, the policy must be approved by the person to whom the initiator of the policy reports. Disputes or conflicts concerning proposed policies affecting more than one department will be referred to the next higher authority in each chain of command until the issue is resolved. When the determination of policy is the responsibility of a group such as the faculty, Association of Furman Students, or a committee rather than an individual, the same basic principles apply. All policies will be distributed through the Policies and Procedures System on a need-to-know basis. The policy on policies does not preclude the issuance of directives by the President. |
C. Guidelines 1. Policies should effectively guide the institution in achieving its purpose, goals, and objectives. 2. Policies should be based on the best factual information available. 3. Policies should be developed whenever there is a need for guidance to administer a particular area or activity. 4. Each policy should be appropriate for the intended level of the institution and should be stated in such a way that it is apparent at which level the policy applies. 5. Policies should be stated as clearly, unequivocally and comprehensively as possible. 6. Policies should be as stable as possible. 7. Policies should be in harmony with the internal structure of the organization. 8. Policies should be consistent with the economic, political, social and educational environment of the institution and be responsive to changes in these areas. 9. Policies should be compatible with one another. 10. Policies should not be developed for situations that are unimportant, improbable, or nonrepetitive. 11. Policies should be reviewed periodically for continued relevancy and adequacy. 12. Policies should be clearly distinguished from other official communications. |

000.6 Governance |
A. Background The purpose of Furman University's governance is to achieve optimum results through effective utilization of the University's internal and external resources. Ultimate authority and responsibility for the institution's governance are vested by the charter and bylaws in the Board of Trustees. The internal governance of the University is delegated to the President. The present administration is implementing a participatory system of governance which gives faculty and students a voice in decision making. The following policy statement is intended to clarify basic governance concepts which should guide institutional decisions at all levels. |
B. Policy Those responsible for the governance of Furman University are committed to a concept of decentralized, participative governance based on appropriate delegation, without abdication, of responsibility and authority. The responsibility for planning and control shall be placed as close as practical to the point of execution. Every person in charge of a department, program, or activity should formulate, within available budget, plans and recommendations for his or her own area of responsibility which can be coordinated with other activities and can be consolidated at higher levels to support the goals, objectives, and policies of the University. |
C. Guidelines 1.Governance should be consistent with Furman's nature and purpose. 2.Furman should strive to promote constructive change, keeping attuned to educational and environmental trends without losing sight of traditional values. 3.The President has the responsibility for seeing that program priorities are established. 4.Ethical and legal standards should be maintained in all relationships. 5.Decisions should be based on the objective consideration of the best information available. 6.Appropriate constituent participation should be utilized in University governance. 7.Authority delegated to the organized faculty and to the Association of Furman Students are defined in their respective constitutions as approved by the Board of Trustees. 8.Each individual throughout the University is accountable for his performance and should be evaluated periodically and compensated on that basis. ........................... |

000.7 Policy on Organizational Relationships |
A. Background Even though a well-defined organizational structure exists at Furman, effective relationships and communications require the support of the President as well as other administrative personnel and of the faculty. While formal organizational relationships are important, ways must also be developed for individuals to engage in informal contacts with others in the administrate structure for purposes of liaison or decision making. Care should be taken, however, to ensure that these informal relationships do not contribute to a breakdown in communications. |
B. Policy The organization chart shall constitute the formal athority-responsibility relationships within the University. Formal communications, either upward or downward, should normally adhere to established lines of authority; nevertheless, working relationships requiring informal contacts are often necessary. In order that there be no breakdown in communications, however, responsible superiors should be informed of agreements made during informal contacts before any important action is taken. Also, provision should be made for bypassing an individual who appears to be blocking communications, either upward or downward. Officers of the Association of Furman Students, as formal representatives of the student body as a whole, should maintain close liaison and communication with the Office of Vice President for Student Services on any matter not covered explicitly by the Constitution of the Association of Furman Students. As with faculty and administrative officers, informal contacts are encouraged; however, the Vice President for Student Services should be informed of any agreements before important action is taken. Again, provision should be made for circumventing an individual in the event blockage of communications is encountered or an impasse appears to be developing. The president, inasmuch as he is ultimately responsible for the effective functioning of the University, has final authority over all decisions made in the University, subject to the will of the Board of Trustees. |
C. Guidelines 1. Delegation of authority and responsibility should be undertaken as a means of developing participative management as well as encouraging decision making at the lowest level feasible. 2. Formal contacts are those which adhere strictly to the chain of command while informal contacts are those contacts with individuals outside the chain necessary for the effective operation of the institution. 3. Contacts across functional lines should be undertaken with the full understanding that immediate superiors be notified, either formally or informally, before any important agreement is ratified or action taken. 4. Provisions should be made by each manager for coordination with peer, superior, or subordinate personnel responsible for one or more overlapping functional areas so that communication failures do not occur. 5. Functional authority and responsibility may be delegated, but it may not be abdicated. 6. Position descriptions emphasizing not only authorities and responsibilities but also formal organizational relationships should be developed as a means of assisting administrative officers and faculty in understanding jurisdictional limitations as well as recognized authority-responsibility relationships and communication channels. 7. Appropriate organization and staffing must be established and maintained to fill approved positions with well-qualified, highly motivated personnel consistent with Furman's Affirmative Action Plan. 8. Copies of the organization chart are in the Appendices of the Faculty Handbook and the Policies and Procedures Manual and File 5.2 of the Planning Book . ........................... |

008.4 Long Distance Telephone Calls Number only changed to 315.1 |
A. Background Telephone communication has become an essential part of Furman's operation and a substantial amount of telephone equipment is in use. Long distance calls have been increasing, and it is recognized that these calls are sometimes the most effective and inexpensive method to accomplish a specific purpose. However, a policy on long distance calls is needed as an aid in maintaining control on costs. |
