Revised Records Management Policy approved

The Vice-Principals' Operations Committee has approved a revised Records Management Policy.

The main changes to the policy are outlined below:

1.  Responsibility for records management has shifted from the University Archives to the Office of the University Secretary and Legal Counsel.

2.  Greater emphasis is placed on records preservation and security to align with the University's information security program, and to address recent recordkeeping amendments to FIPPA.

3.  A clearer statement of responsibilities is expressed.

4.  The Records Management Committee is repositioned from an operational to a strategic governance body.

The revised policy can be found on the Secretariat's Policies website under the Administration and Operations policies:  http://www.queensu.ca/secretariat/policies/administration-and-operations
