Included are the various procedures, policies, and regulations which affect the faculty mem- ber, the benefits and services which are available to him, and a key to the organizational structure and lines of communication within the University. We hope that this compilation will prove helpful in the orientation of new members and serve as a convenient guide or source of reference for those of longer standing. In this connection, mention might be made of three additional handbooks or manuals which may be useful as references: the Staff Personnel Policies and Practices Manual, the Administrative Procedures Manual, and the Secretarial Procedures Manual. Comment and criticism, as well as suggestions as to how the Faculty Handbook may be made more useful, are invited by the University Secretary. October 1, 1970 FERREL HEADY President Page revised 1/20/70, 10/1/70 Preface The comprehensive contents of the Faculty Handbook have been somewhat arbitrarily grouped into seven main sections en- titled "History and Organization"; "Conditions of Employment"; "Faculty Privileges and Security Benefits" ; "Research and Pub- lication Opportunities"; "Administrative Procedures and Regula- tions Affecting the Faculty" ; "Faculty-Student Relations" ; and "Services, Facilities, and General Information." The various items within these broad groups are listed alphabetically, and, for maximum utility, there is a cross-referenced index at the rear of the handbook. In the event that a formal policy statement exists in a given area, such as academic freedom and tenure or sabbatical leaves, no effort has been made to summarize the policy ; instead, brief mention of it is supplemented by the verbatim statement in the body of the text. It should be noted too, that in most cases the Handbook at- tempts to supplement or footnote, rather than duplicate, mate- rial already treated in the General Catalog or other publications. The section on "Grades and Grade Reporting" is a case in point, and references to the catalog are found there and under other topical headings throughout the Handbook. Further, it is not the purpose of the Handbook to serve in any way as a manual of administrative or departmental proce- dures. Several of the colleges and departments have issued proce- dural directives of their own, but no attempt has been made to include or reference such material. A publication such as this can never be fully current, since University policies, procedures, and regulations, as well as bene- fits and services, are constantly under review, and both experi- ence and changing conditions will suggest periodic modifications 5 change and updating,and or additions.Therefore, to facilitate Handbook was de- to avoid frequent andcostly new editions, the change seems signed in looseleaf form.Accordingly, whenever a with the date advisable, new pages willbe printed and marked asked to make the of the revision, andHandbook owners will be necessary additions orsubstitutions.
