University of California, Irvine. Administrative Policies Office

Under Article IX, Section 9 of the California Constitution, the University of California (UC) Board of Regents has "full powers of organization and governance" over the University of California, subject only to very specific areas of legislative control. As set forth in UC Regents Standing Order 100.4, the regents may confer policy-making duties upon the UC president. The president in turn may redelegate certain decision-making responsibilities to chancellors and other UC officers through formal Presidential Delegations of Authority Letters (DA). The chancellors may or may not be allowed to redelegate certain authorities to campus administrators. In some cases, a chancellor may redelegate his or her own authority in the form of a campus Delegation of Authority Letter. Authority remains with the office, not with the individual. Delegations of authority made by the chancellor at the UC Irvine campus are known as Irvine Delegations of Authority Letters (IDA). The Administrative Policies Office at UC Irvine maintains active IDAs. Both Presidential and Irvine Delegations of Authority Letters specify the title of the position to which the authority has been delegated, the extent of the authority, and whether or not the authority can be redelegated. An IDA often includes a reference to the DA and any specific terms or restrictions.

The University of California has comprehensive, systemwide policies and guidelines that address the conduct of all UC employees. Campus policies are also developed to address specific local needs. At UCI the Administrative Policies Office maintains the official record of campus administrative policy revisions and approvals. In 1972, the Irvine Campus Policy and Procedures Manual was published to define and communicate policies and procedures specific to UCI. The Administrative Policies Office maintained the manual in a loose-leaf binder into which revised documents were inserted. Superseded documents were removed and transferred to the University Archives. In 1999, the manual was digitized and made available from the "Official University Policies and Procedures" web site. The web site reflects only the most recent version of a policy or procedure. As revisions are made, previous versions are printed and transferred to the University Archives.
