CERC Policy Subcommittee

Compliance Enterprise Risk Committee (CERC) Policy Subcommittee 

Organization Structure

The CERC Policy Advisory Subcommittee consists of :

  • At least one representative from each Vice-Chancellor (representatives do not have to be CERC members). 
  • A representative from the Academic Senate. 
  • A representative from the Office of Legal Affairs. 
  • A representative from the Chief Information Officer. 
  • CERC members who wish to participate in the subcommittee on either a continuing or ad hoc basis. 

Overview of Policy Subcommittee Process 

The Policy Subcommittee is advisory to the full Compliance Enterprise Risk Committee (CERC) and is charged with the review of new and revised campus-wide administrative policies.  The subcommittee vets the proposal with the policyholder and recommends to CERC the approval of the campuswide policy.  The CERC Policy Subcommittee meets separately from CERC. It meets bi-monthly (with a limited number of exceptions) on the second Tuesday of the month and reviews policies in whatever manner it chooses but strives to respond within 30 days to requests for policy review. The responsible offices will be invited to send representatives to the CERC Policy Subcommittee meeting. 

Resources for policy writers

For Policy submissions to the Subcommittee, documents must be on the campus templates, including the appendix, for new proposals and or revised proposals. Additionally, for policy revisions, a redlined copy of the policy changes should also be provided and submitted to the Policy Coordinator at ucbpolicy@berkeley.edu . The Policy Coordinator will review the proposal for technical and substantive changes before providing them to the committee. New and revised proposals must be received by the Policy Coordinator one month before the scheduled meeting. 

For additional information on the policy development, review, and approval procedure, please refer to the Management of Campuswide Policies. If you have any questions or need assistance with Policy submissions, please review the Guide To Writing Policies or contact the Policy Coordinator at ucbpolicy@berkeley.edu.
