Updates to University Guidelines and Update to the Faculty Handbook

  • The Provost issued new University Guidelines for Full-Time Continuing Contract Faculty Appointments, Grievance Procedures, and Disciplinary Regulations effective July 1. The Guidelines were expanded to include new procedures for grievances other than appointment and reappointment, and new disciplinary regulations. The new procedures incorporate the recommendations of a working group of deans, senators from the T-FSC and the C-FSC, and university administrators convened by the Provost, and the review of these recommendations by school deans and directors.
  • The Faculty Handbook was updated to incorporate the new Guidelines and relevant amendments to University Bylaws approved by the Trustees in June 2016. In addition, the title page, and the"‘landing page" of the on-line Faculty Handbook were amended to reference the Principles of Shared Governance with respect to the Faculty Senators Councils’ review of the Handbook.
  • The new issue of the Faculty Handbook and University Guidelines for Full-Time Continuing Contract Faculty Appointments, Grievance Procedures, and Disciplinary Regulations are effective July 1, 2016.
