FACULTY HANDBOOK JUNE 2020 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Dear Colleague: This 2020 version of the Faculty Handbook is for all faculty members of Campbell University. Along with the University Personnel Manual, this handbook contains policies and procedures that apply to all faculty of all Schools. It also contains addenda as appropriate that detail any modifications or additions specific to the faculty of individual Schools and the Division of Adult & Online Education. This document is designed to articulate clearly the policies of the University established to support its Mission and the nature of faculty roles at the University. In addition, the Handbook covers other important matters, such as administrative structure and governance. We are all aware that faculty are busy people who find it difficult to review and digest all the information contained in various University publications. This Handbook is an attempt to document and state in a concise form those special policies that faculty need to know in order to understand the mutual responsibilities of the faculty and the University. I trust that you will find this Handbook helpful. Again, we thank you for your continuing contribution to the University. Sincerely, J. Bradley Creed President Office of the President Post Office Box 127 | Buies Creek, North Carolina 27506 | (910) 893-1205 Campbell University Faculty Handbook • 2020 DISCLAIMER Campbell University, Inc., is pleased to provide its faculty a formal handbook.
