ß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums Policy

All matters pertaining to museum objects and collections at the ß÷ßäÉçÇø are governed by the ß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums and Collections Policy. The policy and associated procedures define the University's responsibilities and accountabilities related to museum objects, collections and issues.

The policy and procedures were developed in consultation with academic and administrative staff throughout campus as part of UAPPOL (ß÷ßäÉçÇø Policies and Procedures online). The policy was approved by the Board of Governors on March 28, 2008. The ß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums Policy and Planning Committee continually reviews and advises on policy issues.
