University Policies

3341-1-7

The Delegation of Contract and Signature Authority policy has been revised to more clearly identify the specific administrative positions with the limited authority to execute contracts on behalf of BGSU. Position titles have been updated.

This standalone policy replaces the anti-hazing prohibitions of the Code of Student Conduct. It was adopted to align clearly with Ohio’s new anti-hazing law (Collin’s Law). 

The recently updated purchasing policy establishes a new competitive bidding threshold for construction projects, increases the asset capitalization threshold and changes grants procurement requirements. In addition to these updates, conflict of interest protocols and Ohio Ethics Law requirements are further defined. 

The Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy has been revised for clarity and to improve the processes used. The principal revisions include: providing additional definitions, designating more mandatory reporters, reflecting the role of Equity and Compliance, better defining the processes used for employee respondents, and allowing the parties to choose a single decision-maker hearing option.

The entire Code of Student Conduct is now in this single policy, combining several prior policies into one document.  Changes to the Code also include: updated definitions of prohibited conduct, an option allowing the respondent to choose a single decision-maker in a formal hearing, more explicit procedural guidance, and a broader list of possible sanctions.
