Barry's Blog: Arts Employee Rights and Written Policies

blog.westaf.org: I have in the past written about the lack of policies for various things in the arts, or more specifically, written polices. Policies are not laws or regulations. There is no enforcement provision. Policies are broad recommendations in a given area, around which there is widespread consensus that certain perceptions ought to govern our actions. Policies are aspirational, but should also be intentionally practical. Policies state the framework and often include the standards for action in a given area; guidelines for all to adhere to and follow.
