Security Policy Review


I looked at the Fox Valley Tech website and noticed that it was rather easy to navigate to the schools policy page. The schools Policies & Procedures have been laid out into three groups.
1. Emergency Closings
2. Affirmative Action/ EOE
3. College Policies

The Policies & Procedures page can be found by navigating the link bar tabs that run along the bottom of the Fox Valley Tech websites header, located at www.fvtc.edu . Hoover over the about FVTC tab and you will notice the Policies tab that has an arrow pointing to the three groups. I clicked directly onto the tab that said Policies. (Disregarding the arrow altogether) Clicking on the tab in the manner described, quickly brought me to the Policies & Procedures page.
For even a quicker way to reach the page, use this URL. (

The Emergency Closings Policies are not as crucial to the security of the school as is the many other Administration Policies.
I think that the Emergency Closing Policies have been grouped separate from the other policies in order to create ease of navigation.

The Affirmative Action/EOE Policies are nothing more than the schools disclaimer stating that they are in full compliance with the articles and Acts, required by law.

The College Policies really turn out to be Administrative Policies. However they still seem to be created fairly and just to the best of my knowledge. Policies have been created for anything you can possibly think of. It really appears as if the writers of the Fox Valley Tech Policies and Procedures took many different things into consideration.
 It is to the best of my imagination, that when the school policy is written, it becomes the ultimate rule unless the policy has reason for review.  There is even a web page set aside just in case a policy is up for review.

The Administrative Policies cover areas with Academic Appeals and everything in between ending with Workplace Threats or Violence. There are many school policies that have security and the health of the student and faculty in mind. I feel that the Fox Valley Technical College has a well thought out and written policies.
