Valdosta State University does not promise a maximum turnaround time, as too
many other people (including 2 VPs and the president) are in the signature
loop.  If the SRO approval is not the only approval needed for submission
once the proposal makes it to your door, you would be promising something
over which you don't have full control.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Internal deadlines and processing times

I have a meeting in an hour.  I'd like to be able to say that most
OSPs do __________________.

So...super quick survey:  We have all discussed how many days before
a deadline we expect to see proposals/forms submitted for internal
approvals.  And we have all (+/-) agreed that you do everything you
can to get every proposal out the door regardless of violation of
internal deadlines.  I understand that the job demands extraordinary
effort and flexibility to get everything done on time...but

Question: Do you have a policy saying that a proposal will be
reviewed and approved within a specific time frame following
submission of paperwork?  Or do you just tell people "You will get it
back in time to submit!"

thanks

Charlie Hathaway
