These pages are a record of our efforts to join mercy with justice in the application of our policies. I especially recommend to you the section on the Heart of Leading a Course, which reveals some of the heart motivation behind our practices. We don’t have policies just because we like rules and laws; but in order to apply the Biblical principles that are the foundations of our University. Since the University of the Nations has entered the second phase of its growth, we see new frontiers opening up before us. We live in exciting times as we endeavor to better understand the heart of God for a multi-polar, international, transformational missions university. As the International Leadership Team has prayed over the University of the Nations, we are more and more convinced that the school leaders and staff are the key to our effectiveness. Our fruitfulness very much depends on your partnership with the Lord. May the Lord bless your commitment to the ministry of transformational training. Dr. Tom Bloomer, University of the Nations International Provost Letter to School Leaders; Howard V. Malmstadt; August, 1995; Rewritten by Tom Bloomer April 12, 2017 Page 1! of 1 2017 UofN Reference Guide. Copyright © 1995 by YWAM/UofN; Revised 1997, 2000, 2015. 11/2017 Page 3 GO TO TABLE OF CONTENTS REFERENCE GUIDE PREFACE What is a "Reference Guide"? It is a source of information. This reference guide specifically provides you with accurate and current information about Youth With A Mission and the Uni- versity of the Nations. It is a practical tool placed in your hand, designed to help guide and assist you in fulfilling the key role you play in our mission. It is called a "Reference Guide" because it serves as a knowledge base from which to begin, build and further develop. It serves as a guide forward to deeper understanding and application of leadership principles. And it serves as a continual reference point to facilitate alignment of all we do with the vi- sion, values, ethos, policies and practices of Youth With A Mission's University of the Na- tions. The documents included in this reference guide cover a range of subject matters: from the over-arching foundational values of the mission to the practical aspect of running a spe- cific school. You will find here information about all the major principles, policies and proce- dures related to the University of the Nations. These policies have been established over more than three decades of development. They may be copied and distributed by use for all in the University of the Nations. Our only stipulation is that the documents contained here be copied in their entirety and be used without being edited or altered in any way. The information is accurate in that each article is an authoritative documentation of a given principle, policy or procedure of the UofN. Each document has a footer on every page in which the primary source of the document is recorded. If the document contains a corporate decision, the source is usually either a specific Core International Leadership Team (CILT), an International Leadership Team (ILT) meeting or the current UofN catalogue. At times the source is the UofN Executive Committee (UofN Exec) or YWAM's International Council (IC), International Executive Committee (IEC), or Global Leadership Team (GLT). Some documents are teaching pieces written by respected teachers within the mission. These teach- ings have been considered to be formative in the UofN. In these instances the author is given as the source (e.g. Floyd McClung, Landa Cope, Tom Bloomer). A few documents have "Provost Team" as the source. These documents are a compilation of many pieces of infor- mation from the current UofN Catalogue, decisions from multiple CILT or ILT meetings, UofN Dean's meetings, and instructions from the International Provost. These documents compile a myriad of policies into one cohesive and comprehensive unit. The information is current. This is not a record of rigid statutes cast in concrete. Rather it is a snapshot of the living, dynamic principles, policies and procedures by which we currently guide ourselves in the UofN. These policies and procedures are added to or modified along with the mission. Every year the International Leadership Teams of the UofN meets to con- sider issues and make decisions relating to the effective running of the university. Once every two years the Board of Regents of the UofN meets to make other authoritative policy deci- sions. These decisions may result in the elimination, modification or addition of policies and procedures. Any changes will be reflected in periodic updates to this reference guide, which will be circu- lated to all. When you receive an updated document please insert it in place of the old one Reference Guide Preface; App'd: Provost Team, Lausanne, July, 1995; Printed Page 12! of ! 2017 UofN Reference Guide. Copyright © 1995 by YWAM/UofN; revised 1997, 2000, 2005, 2015 11/2017 Page 4 GO TO TABLE OF CONTENTS and discard the old one. Please note two further elements found in the footer of every document that will help you maintain your reference guide as current. First, observe that each document has the date of printing. This way we not only know when the policy was originally formulated, but we can also easily identify the most current revision of that policy. Second, the page number and the total number of pages in the document are recorded. This should help to minimize questions about different editions of a document. We also recommend that you consider giving each of your staff and students the following website addresses from which they may obtain various information and resources. University of the Nations www.uofn.edu Youth With A Mission www.ywam.org The “UofN Catalogue” may be downloaded from www.uofn.edu website of the University of the Nations, These additional and complementary resources will enhance your ministry in the University of the Nations. We pray that this reference guide will benefit you as you work in the Lord's Harvest.
