Policy Group

The Policy Group (which is the President’s Small Executive Staff PSES) provides leadership for the university during an emergency situation. This group is responsible for making decisions about full or partial closure of the university and for coordinating and communicating with elected officials from other government agencies during the emergency. PSES provides high level oversight and guidance for the implementation of all emergency management related plans.

Advisory committee members will appoint staff to the working groups on an as needed basis to carry out specific projects.
