The State of Washington, including Grays Harbor College, is in a “self-insured” status. Fundamentally, in this case, this means that the college property is not insured.
Any personal property that an employee brings to campus is not insured; therefore, faculty and staff are subject to personal loss if their property is lost, stolen or damaged.
Employees may want to be sure that all their personal property is insured by their homeowner’s policies, regardless of where the property is located.
Review and Revision refers to the College’s cyclical process for evaluating and updating all institutional policies and procedures. At minimum, each policy or procedure will undergo review once every five years to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current practices and regulatory requirements. If the scheduled review results in no changes, the date of that review will be recorded in the Reviewed field. If updates or edits are made, the date will be recorded in the Revised field. This process maintains transparency regarding the history of each policy or procedure and ensures the College remains responsive to evolving needs and standards.
