Reason or Need for Policy

This policy was revised to correct the word “America’s” to “Nation’s” to ensure it aligns with the version previously published on the WSU websites and to modify the language to reflect input received from the former Strategic Planning Committee and Activation Team leaders, the current Integrated Planning Committee, the Executive Team and feedback received during town halls.
