Through the adoption of this policy, INTERNATIONAL PEACE COMMITTEE FOR INTERFAITH HARMONY recognizes risk management as a function that encourages the participation, cooperation and involvement of the entire campus community.

INTERNATIONAL PEACE COMMITTEE FOR INTERFAITH HARMONY employees are responsible for ensuring that campus programs, activities and policies are conducted in a manner that considers the risk of loss or injury.

Resource issues related to the participation by campus colleges and departments will be addressed.
In addition, the Risk Management Policy will be reviewed annually and approved by the campus MD/CHAIRMAN.
