Compliance and Ethics
The University developed a records retention policy to ensure access to past, present and future public records and preserve vital information generated by the University.
Purpose of Policy
This policy is designed for the following reasons:
Retention Schedule
A schedule for each University department shall identify all groups of records in an office or department and specify the length of time each type of University record shall be retained.
Considerations in Determining Retention Period
The retention period for each record will reflect the legal, administrative, fiscal and historical value of the information in the record.
Process for Approving Retention Schedules
Each record schedule shall be prepared by or submitted through the University libraries and submitted for approval through the State Records Committee and MDAH prior to implementation by the University department.
