I suspect the ubiquity of sections of handbooks labelled "Policies and Procedures" has confused people into thinking they are more alike than they are.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oh- the faculty think it is not important enough to vote on!!! Therefore not important enough to be a policy!!!
I say that it is a Division Policy as determined by our Associate Dean, rather than a School Policy, voted on by the school faculty. AND, believe it or not, it is actually (I know from my last job) a University Policy that non-credit classes recieve no refunds.
But, I am chronically unable to let things like this go without being annoyed, even when the person who is telling me this is my boss's boss's boss-- the Dean. I actually dislike this about myself-- the inability to note an unimportant issue's complete stupidity and move on.

Annual performance review review (yes, that is deliberate) over and it was fine (though I really laugh too much as a filler ) and I have exciting news: we're all getting new titles! Except....none of them fit me. None of the descriptions match the odd combination of work I do either. So I'm currently titleless. I'm kinda proud.

Protocol, perhaps?

Ann, that's a ferret.
The thing is, if we can't call it a policy because it hasn't been voted on by faculty, isn't there a better synonym for the word policy than the word procedure? Like, rule.
Around here, we issue a lot of "Guidance."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because sometimes the University really really really wants to paint it turquoise blue and beige and sometimes the Forest Service really really wants it to be a particular shade of brown and starts waving regs. at you and sometimes the designer gets a wild hair about mauve and ...I don't even want to talk about the tasteful blue on the ops blgd's gutters that was vetoed because it might clash with the sky..
I really wish I were kidding, but I lived through these wars.
