  • Faculty Handbook Revised 2014
    MERCER UNIVERSITY FACULTY HANDBOOK REVISED 2014 The University Faculty Handbook describes the organizational structure and governance of the University, sets forth the major policies and procedures affecting faculty members, and describes faculty retirement and benefit plans, current as of the date of publication. 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is inevitable that changes will occur, new policies and procedures will be adopted, and existing descriptions will be superseded.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. University Faculty Handbook | Revised 2014 | Page 1 of 82 MERCER UNIVERSITY THE MISSION OF THE UNIVERSITY STATEMENT OF UNIVERSITY GOALS THE MISSION OF THE UNIVERSITY Mercer University's mission is to teach, to learn, to create, to discover, to inspire, to empower, and to serve.

The University on Feb. 17 dedicated the Stembridge Center for Student Success, which houses the offices of Student Success, Student Financial Planning, Registrar, Bursar and Student Loans. “By putting those offices all in the same building, no matter which one students go to, if they chose the wrong one, it’s only down the hall or up a floor or down a floor,” said Dr. James Netherton, executive vice president for administration and finance.“Those offices always collaborate on helping solve problems for students, but being in the same facility will amp that up greatly.” The Center is named for Willard D.
