Government agencies, laws,
statutes, the NCAA, accreditation agencies, and other entities mandate that
certain information be made available to various audiences (students,
perspective students, current employees, etc.), as a compliance and/or participation
requirement. In order to ensure continued compliance and participation
eligibility, the University community must make every effort to ensure that
it adheres
to applicable requirements.
Applicable
laws, rules and regulations are dynamic. How
can departments keep abreast of changes in applicable laws, rules and
regulations?
