The University of Delaware

HANDBOOK FOR FACULTY

Revised December, 1994

The Faculty Handbook informs faculty of major policies and regulations of the University. In addition, the Collective Bargaining Agreement contains policies that are in effect during a contract period.

Certain information in the Faculty Handbook is based on the University of Delaware Charter and the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees. If in matters that are covered by these documents there is a difference in wording, content, or interpretation between the Faculty Handbook and the Bylaws and Charter, the latter two documents will prevail.

Policies contained in the Faculty Handbook are official policies of the University and remain in full effect until changed by appropriate University actions. A copy of the handbook is available in U-Discover!, the on-line campus information service. You are currently reading it through the World Wide Web.

The Office of the University Provost will update the on-line document as new policies and policy revisions are approved. New or replacement pages will be supplied to holders of the written version of the Handbook at least annually.

The Handbook is a revision of the official 1963 Handbook adopted by the Board of Trustees as University policy, and it has been approved for publication by the Board.

Faculty should also consult the following manuals and publications:

University of Delaware Policies and Procedures Manual
Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual
Faculty Advisement Handbook
Chairperson's Supplement
Official Student Handbook
Undergraduate Catalog
Graduate Catalog
Collective Bargaining Agreement between the University of Delaware and the American Association of University Professors.

These documents are available on-line through U-Discover! and are available for consultation in departmental offices.
