Public Comment Period
To increase community engagement in Drexel’s policy-making process, all proposed Official University Policies undergo a 30-day public comment period before the President’s Cabinet and the President review the final draft.
All students, faculty and professional staff are invited to review and comment on the proposed policies listed below. Follow the links provided to review the policy drafts and provide your comments via Qualtrics.
The Policy Council will review all comments and determine if modifications are needed. There is no assurance that a policy will be modified based solely on comments, nor will there be an individual response to each comment.
If you have any questions or concerns, email policy@drexel.edu. The open and close dates of public comment periods will be announced on this webpage, the University Events Calendar, and the monthly “It’s Okay to Ask” compliance e-newsletter. There are no policies currently under public comment.
