POLICY 3.8.2 - Procedures
Revisions to Section 3 (Faculty Governance) are the responsibility of the Faculty Senate. The FHC will send recommended changes to Section 3 to the Senate for approval. Once approved by the Senate, the recommended changes will generally take effect at the beginning of the next fall semester. The representative from the Office of the Provost will make the changes in the official version of the Faculty Handbook hosted on the SU server and archive the previous version. (See flow-chart below)
Section 4 of the handbook is the contract statement between the University and the faculty. Recommendations for changes to Section 4 can be initiated by any individual or group at the University and should be referred to the Provost. If the Provost chooses to move a recommendation forward, they will seek input from the Senate and the Academic Cabinet. Additionally, the University Cabinet may be consulted if the Provost and President deem such approval necessary. Once a change is approved, the representative from the Office of the Provost will make the changes in the official version of the Faculty Handbook hosted on the SU server and archive the previous version. (See flow-chart below).
* Recommendations for changes to the Faculty Handbook can be initiated by the FHC, Faculty Senate, SU Administration, Board of Trustees, and/or other stakeholder groups at SU.
Changes to sections other than 3 and 4 are informational and will be updated by the Office of the Provost. Review by the Faculty Senate may be requested, but is not required.
