1: CURRENT VERSION of HANDBOOK
Preface:
about the Handbook
This electronic version of the Handbook for Faculty was
extensively developed in 2003. The online version of the handbook is the
official version of the handbook containing all appropriate policies approved
by the Faculty Senate and University administration. Questions about policy
updates should be addressed to the Office of the Provost.
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. 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.
The Office of the provost will update the on-line document as
new policies and policy revisions are approved.
