Policies
This reference is a compilation of laws, rules, regulations, and policies
organized by functional area.
Statutes are laws passed by the legislature. The Office of the Legislative
Counsel edits, publishes, sells and distributes the Oregon Revised Statutes.
State agencies are authorized by the legislature to adopt administrative
rules. The Oregon Attorney General's Administrative Law Manual defines
"rule" to include "directives, standards, regulations or statements of
general applicability that implement, interpret or prescribe law or policy
or describe the agency's procedure or practice requirements." Administrative
rules are adopted after public hearing. The Administrative Rules Unit,
Archives Division, Secretary of State assists agencies with the notification,
filing and publication requirements of the administrative rules process.
Internal Management Directives are management policies approved by the
Oregon State Board of Higher Education.
These policies are approved by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education.
The OUS Fiscal Policy Manual (under development) was created as a first
step towards establishing an on-line System fiscal policy library. This
library will incorporate the results of the Fiscal Accountability Framework
project, and serve as a resource for management and staff in fiscal positions
throughout OUS. The System fiscal policy library will include links to
applicable statutes, administrative rules, IMDs, Board policies, and other
System fiscal policies. The OUS Fiscal Policy Manual incorporates what
was FASOM (see below) as well as other fiscal policies. FASOM sections
will be transitioned and updated as time and resources permit. When this
update process is complete, FASOM will no longer exist; all applicable
fiscal policies will have been transitioned into the OUS Fiscal Policy
Manual.
OUS Financial Administration Standard Operating Manual (FASOM)
FASOM will be incorporated into a new OUS Fiscal Policy Manual (see OUS
Fiscal Policy Manual, above). These financial policies approved by the
Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration or delegate are intended
to provide guidance on fiscal matters not included in ORSs, IMDs, or Board
policies.
These business policies and procedures are specific to the Chancellor's
Office.
