Linda--
Here is a copy of the policy at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of
New Jersey:
http://www.umdnj.edu/oppmweb/Policies/HTML/Admin/10-140_00/Centers%20and%20Institutes.doc
I would strongly recommend that you include in your policy a procedure for
the disestablishment of centers and institutes etc. A previous employer of
mine had the problem of "centers" or "institutes" that were for years nothing
more than a plaque on a door and there was no way of removing them from the
list of centers.
