Policies and Compliance
DRI Policies and Compliance
Research Institutions, like many organizations, are built on a solid foundation of bylaws, policies, and procedures. When they are well established and diligently reviewed, updated, and implemented, the organization runs smoothly, enabling its mission to be realized and its constituency, in our case, faculty, staff, students and the community, to be well-served. Weakness in bylaws, policies, and procedures is most apparent in times of change or crisis. At all levels, a solid foundation of rules enables smooth and effective operation.
Notice of Non-Discrimination
Desert Research Institute is committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination and discriminatory harassment, and therefore does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, or any other protected category in administration of its programs or activities. Desert Research Institute does not intimidate or retaliate against any individual or group because they have exercised their rights to participate in actions protected, or oppose action prohibited by U.S. federal laws.
