Welcome to the 2011 Annual Legal and Policy Update

This site is for individuals who have been identified as having job responsibilities that require understanding of and compliance with DU policies and federal, state, or local laws and regulations.

Participation in the Annual Legal and Policy Update is required of any appointed DU employee whose job responsibilities require that they understand, abide by, and oversee programs where others must understand and abide by University policies or federal and state laws and regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, employees who complete annual performance reviews for appointed DU employees.
