The
revisions to this Policy are intended to better
control the volume of items the University is currently

increase the University’s fixed assets tracking
and inventory threshold to $5,000. Previously the
threshold was $5,000 for all equipment with the
exception of laptops and data projectors, which

provided by the State Controller, the University
is required to track and inventory only property,
plant, and equipment items costing $5,000 and above,
but the University is free to set a lower threshold.

to move the threshold for all property, plant, and
equipment items to $5,000.

Statement #13, Campus Operation in Adverse Weather
or During Other Unusual Conditions
Status:
Revision
Revision
Effective: June 29, 2005
Summary:
The
changes to this Policy clarify which positions are
deemed to be Essential Personnel for purposes of
reporting during inclement weather and other unusual
conditions. The changes also encourage department
heads to provide food and shelter for Essential
Personnel when they must report to campus in order
to address problems previously faced by personnel
who, due to weather, could not return home or retrieve
food. The changes also address how employees who
are paid on an hourly basis and who do not earn
leave credit will be paid for periods when the University
is closed or when the employee believes that travel
is unsafe.
Policy
Statement #99, Additional Compensation for Professional
Services to the University
Status:
Revision
Revision
Effective: June 29, 2005
Policy
Effective: June 29, 2005
Summary:
This Policy Statement has undergone a complete overhaul
to provide clarity and more specificity about the
various types of additional compensation that may
be permitted. The new title of the Policy reflects
this broader scope: “Additional Compensation
for Professional Services to the University.”
One
of the major changes is that while the previous
Policy limited all types of additional compensation
to 3/9 of the salary base for 9-month faculty, the
revised policy allows other types of incidental
compensation and compensation for summer teaching,
without specifying a limit. Instead, the process
requires pre-approval and all one-time payments
require a memo of justification for both the activity
and the compensation amount for the activity. The
Policy also sets forth the conditions required for
12-month staff to receive additional compensation.
A
new appendix provides a quick reference guide indicating
the types of additional compensation available based
on employment category.
Finally,
the policy is revised to comport with the new Board
of Governors Policy 300.2.13 (http://www.northcarolina.edu/content.php/legal/policymanual/uncpolicymanual_300_2_13.htm).
Policy
Statement #62, Employee Assistance Program
Status:
Revision
Revision
Effective: May 30, 2005
Policy
Effective: May 30, 2005
Summary:
This Policy required revision because the State
has eliminated its administration of the Employee
Assistance Program. As a result, the UNC Charlotte
Counseling Center has become the University’s
sole resource in employee disciplinary cases in
which the University finds it necessary to mandate
employee counseling as a condition of continued
employment. These revisions are intended to articulate
the role of the Counseling Center in addressing
such employee issues without compromising the Counseling
Center’s ability to provide services to students.

office names and required actions are clarified.
Policy
Statement #81, Senior Academic and Administrative
Officers
Status:
Revised by the Chancellor
Effective:
September 27, 2004
Summary:
On September 20, 2004, the Office of the President
approved establishment of a new UNC Charlotte Tier
I SAAO position--Vice Chancellor for Research and
Federal Relations. In turn, on September 24, 2004,
the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees appointed Steve
Mosier as the new Vice Chancellor for Research and

Chancellor for Research and Federal Relations”

Statement #20, Electronic Communication Systems
Status:
Revised by the Board of Trustees

of the policy from “electronic mail” to
all “electronic communication systems”
to ensure the appropriate use of all the University’s
electronic communication systems (not only email)
by its students, faculty, and staff. Accordingly,
the title of the Policy has been changed to "Electronic
Communication Systems.” Electronic communication
systems are defined as tools provided by the University
to complement traditional methods of communication
and to improve education and administrative efficiency.
Policy
Statement #44, Surplus Property Procedures
Status:
Revised
Effective:
July 15, 2004
Summary:

requirements for public universities under Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements #34 and

building and infrastructure assets. The revisions
are intended to strengthen the policy with regard
to accountability for lost or stolen assets. The revisions

Equipment and Other Property

Revised
Effective:
June 4, 2004
Summary:
The revisions to this Policy are intended to better
control the volume of items the University is currently

guidelines allow the University to select inventory
levels at four different thresholds. These recommended
revisions comply with Office of State Controller requirements.
Policy
Statement #86, Facilities and Administrative Costs
Status:
NEWLY APPROVED
Effective:
May 31, 2004
Summary:
Facilities and Administrative (F&A) (also known
as indirect or overhead) costs are the general support
expenses relating to research and sponsored programs
that are incurred for common objectives of the University
and therefore cannot be readily identified with a
particular sponsored award. This new policy provides
that F&A costs will be reimbursed by a federal
sponsoring agency at their UNC Charlotte negotiated
F&A rate. The University expects all non-federal
sponsored programs to be reimbursed for their full
costs, both direct and F&A.
Policy
Statement #10, Network Security
Status:
Revised
Effective:
May 21, 2004
Summary:
This Policy is revised to add a provision permitting
the University to monitor data traffic to safeguard
the integrity of the University's computing and electronic
communication resources and to minimize the risks
to both those resources and the end users of those
resources. Specifically, the revision allows ITS to
monitor data traffic and to access, retrieve, read,
and/or disclose data communications when there is
reasonable cause to suspect a violation of applicable
University policy or criminal law, or when monitoring
is otherwise required by law. The new language in
this Policy will also be included in a network logon
banner, so that users are notified of the potential
data traffic monitoring when they log onto the University
network.
Policy

Summary:
Revisions to Policy Statement #23 reflect changes
based on “Personnel Management Flexibility to
Appoint and Fix Compensation of EPA Positions, Further
Delegations from the Chancellor,” dated March
2003.
That
document provides: “Emeritus Faculty status
must be approved by the Chancellor upon nomination
by the Department Chair and recommendation by the
Dean, and Provost.” The Office of the President
has confirmed that under personnel management flexibility,
the authority to approve emeritus faculty appointments
is delegated from the Board of Trustees to the Chancellor.
The
revisions reflect the Chancellor’s authority
to make final decisions on appointment of emeritus
faculty.
Policy
Statement #78, Administrative Separation and/or
Retreat to a Faculty Position
Status:
Newly Approved
Effective:
March 5, 2004

University of North Carolina Board of Governors Policy
300.1.6 and Regulation 300.1.6[R].
This
Policy covers voluntary and involuntary relinquishments
of duties by Senior Academic and Administrative Officers,
as identified at UNC Charlotte in Policy Statement
#81, with the exception of the Chancellor. In accordance
with Board of Governors Policy 300.1.6 and Regulation

of voluntary and involuntary relinquishments of duties
by SAAOs (other than the Chancellor): retreat to a
faculty position, reappointment of an administrator
without faculty retreat rights, separation from the
University, and retirement.
Policy
Statement #39, Petty Cash Fund and Change Fund
Policy
Status:
Newly Approved
Effective:
January 21, 2004
Summary:
This new policy addresses petty cash funds and change
funds. The old petty cash "policy" consisted
of a single paragraph within Policy Statement #50,
“Purchasing Policy,” and was inadequate
to address the various ways petty cash is being used
on campus. Specifically, the single paragraph in Policy
Statement #50 did not address issues of accountability,
security, replenishment, appropriate uses of petty
cash funds and change funds, all of which have been
addressed in this new policy.
Policy
Statement #13, Campus Operation in Adverse
Weather or During Other Unusual Conditions
Status:
Revised
Effective:
November 17, 2003
Summary:
The revisions to this Policy add new provisions regarding
accounting for lost time when the University is on
a delayed schedule and clarify existing provisions
regarding accounting for lost time when the University
is closed or classes are cancelled. The revisions
also specify that faculty and non-faculty employees
who telework or work in alternate locations not affected
by the adverse weather or unusual conditions are expected
to work their normal schedule. Finally, the term “hazardous”
in the title and text of the Policy Statement is changed
to "adverse,” to correlate with the terminology
of the State policy.
Policy
Statement #69 - Student Records
Status:
Revised
Effective:
July 14, 2003
Summary:
These revisions correspond with the Registrar's
practice of releasing a student's directory information
previously withheld at the student's request only
after the Registrar receives the student's written
authorization to do so. Formerly, if the student filed
the necessary form requesting that the Registrar not
release directory information, that request expired
after one year. The change provides better Registrar
management of student requests to withhold directory
information.
Policy
Statement #104 - The Code of Student Responsibility

all University Property. Such revisions include provisions
requiring that all University
