Preparing policies is an important task that is usually carried out at the administrative level. The dean of students is generally responsible for decisions regarding student life. The athletic director and the comptroller are both involved with regulations concerning the expenditure of money for team travel.

Staff members responsible for other activities must likewise be included in the groups assigned to formulate policies for the conduct of those activities.

Each committee engaged in writing policies and other regulations should include at least one member who has the ability to express ideas in a clear and concise manner.

All member of a policy-writing committee should be instructed to research all pertinent facts thoroughly before making their report to the oganizational unit involved.
