Profile 2018-2019 MERCER UNIVERSITY Profile 2018-2019 MACON | ATLANTA | SAVANNAH Columbus, Douglas County, Henry County, Warner Robins MERCER UNIVERSITY Profile 2018-2019 ERCER UNIVERSITY is one of America’s oldest and most distinctive institutions of higher learning, offering rigorous programs that span the undergraduate liberal arts to doctoral-level degrees. MFounded by early 19th century Baptists, Mercer — while no longer formally denominationally affiliated — remains committed to an educational environment that embraces the historic Baptist principles of intellectual and religious freedom. With more than 8,700 students enrolled in 12 schools and colleges, on major campuses in Macon and Atlanta; medical school sites in Macon, Savannah and Columbus; and at regional academic centers in Henry and Douglas counties, Mercer is ranked among the top tier of national research universities by U.S. News & World Report. Our nearly 80,000 alumni are making important contributions to their professions and communities throughout Georgia, the Southeast and the world. While offering a breadth of programs found at much larger universities, Mercer maintains an intimate, student- focused culture more characteristic of smaller liberal arts colleges. Mercer’s uniqueness is found in the way the University integrates five defining components of its mission: Liberal Learning, Professional Knowledge, Discovery, Service to Humankind and Community. 2 MERCER UNIVERSITY n About Mercer PRESIDENT — William D.

Because the University is a dynamic institution, it is inevitable that changes will occur, new policies and procedures will be adopted, and existing descriptions will be superseded. This handbook will be revised periodically, but changes between handbook revisions will take effect as they are duly adopted. Policies and Procedures in this edition supersede all former editions unless there is a statement in the text of this edition noting otherwise. In addition to the University Faculty Handbook, college and school supplemental operating guidelines and procedures are available in each of the colleges and schools of the University. These supplemental handbooks are attached to the University Faculty Handbook. The provisions of the University Faculty Handbook supersede collegiate policies and procedures. Wherever the University has chosen to adopt policies or principles similar to or incorporating portions of statements of the American Association of University Professors or other external bodies, the University reserves the right to interpret such policies or principles for itself and is not bound by external interpretations. Additional policies and procedures affecting all University employees are published in the Employee Benefit Handbook.
