The Manual sets out the scope of duties for officers and the faculty, contract provisions of \n faculty, and the legislative, advisory or administrative functions and responsibilities of standing \n committees and other bodies of the University. Additional procedures, practices, and expectations, \n including regulations for conduct of faculty, staff, and students are described in the Faculty \n Handbook, Staff Employee Handbook, Student Handbook, and Catalog. \n This Manual is authorized and has been adopted by the University’s Board of Trustees. The \n original Manual was adopted in 1951, and major revisions were made in 1954, 1961, 1966, 1972, \n 1979, 1990, 1995, 1998, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2015, 2017 and 2018. As experience and \n reflection indicate, changes may be initiated by the president, the Faculty, or the Board, as follows: \n PART I Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws \n Purpose, Mission and Philosophy are joint concerns of the Faculty and the Board of Trustees. \n Sections 1.2.2 Mission, 2.0.2 Philosophy of Education and 2.0.3 Community Standards reflect the \n mission and philosophy of the University, and changes may be initiated by the president, the Faculty \n or the Board, but final approval of such changes rests with the Board. Changes in all other sections \n may be initiated by the president or the Board with final approval resting with the Board. \n PART II Faculty and University Governance \n Sections 1 Defining Faculty, Section 2 Policy on Academic Freedom, Section 3 Responsibilities \n of Faculty, Section 4 Contracts and Tenure, and Section 5 Formal Leaves, represent contractual \n conditions between the University and the Faculty. Changes may be initiated by the Faculty (by \n majority vote, after at least one week written notice), the president (with concurrence by the \n Faculty), or the Board, but final approval rests with the Board. Section 6 Committee and Council \n Structure reflects current practice, with the composition and responsibilities of committees under the \n direction of the president. Major changes in committee structure or responsibility (as determined by \n the president or the Faculty) are referred to the Faculty for approval, and do not require Board \n action. \n A master copy of the Manual embodying all changes to date is to be kept in the office of the \n president. A copy is available in the library for examination or photocopying for any legitimate \n purpose. The president’s interpretation of the Manual is binding, subject to action by the Board of \n Trustees. \n Sherilyn R.
