October 2016 Edition

This Handbook is the authoritative source of policies pertaining to the Faculty.

The organization of the Handbook's content has changed significantly from the January 2013 edition in two waves of revision.  The first wave resulted in the April 2013 edition and an update in December 2013. The changes found in the July 2014 edition represented the second major wave, covering new definitions of Faculty and their participation in Faculty Governance.  These editions contain material covering mostly the same topics as those in the January 2013 edition but in different orders. Recent minor modifications were accepted by the Faculty in their April 21, 2015 and October 20, 2015 meetings. To better trace where particular topics are found from one edition to the next please refer to Comparison Guides to the January 2013 and December 2013 editions, and to the December 2013 and April 2015 editions.  The changes in October 2015 did not affect the Comparison Guides.

 For any recent changes adopted by the faculty but not yet published here, see this notice.
