POLICY 4.8.4 - Faculty Orientation Policy


The policies, procedures and contractual responsibilities are an integral part of all organizations. The policies, procedures and contractual responsibilities of universities are a unique blend of academic traditions, professional respect and mutual interest. Particularly in situations where administration and faculty governance bodies operate interdependently, knowledge of the procedures and contractual responsibilities by every faculty member is essential. To achieve an understanding of procedures and contractual duties, faculty orientation must be provided to all individuals holding faculty status. An orientation session for every new faculty member should occur prior to the beginning of the fall academic semester. In cases where this is not possible, orientation should be conducted as soon as possible after employment. The academic orientation is separate from the Human Resources orientation.

The Office of the Associate Provost shall direct the orientation sessions. A representative from Faculty Senate shall participate in the orientation sessions. The Committee will provide each individual holding faculty status with information on the policies, procedures and responsibilities of the Faculty Senate.

Revision Dates: (Revised October 2019)
