Regarding dissemination of research policies, I say have faculty GOPHER it.
It's not too difficult to set up a gopher server (the place where the
information resides) and the gopher client (the machine asking for information
from the server) is easy to use.  Both are free.  Sending out paper and disks is
costly and requires lots of time.  Through gopher, the information is
immediately available, easily updated, readily accessed, and, for the most part,
free.  The address for the gopher where our's resides is:  trout.ab.umd.edu and
the path to our information is /U of Md Graduate School/Sponsored
