Subject: Fac HB Corrections: Editorial
Dear Dr. Grasso:
As promised, here is the second list of corrections.
Once again, thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
David A. Edwards
The following pages (at least) are missing annotations
indicating what was most recently revised:
On http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/preface-about-handbook the
reference to a "new version" of the Faculty Advisement Handbook
"coming soon" has been there at least since January 2004.
Perhaps it's time to admit that this reference is now obsolete?
On http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/23-academic-units-university%E2%80%90wide-offices
There are several problems with out-of-date administrator
titles (mostly references to the Vice President for Administration):
On http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/25-program-policy-boards-committees-commissions:
Did you mean to paste the entirety of http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/414-conditions-employment
above the table of contents in http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/41-faculty-appointments-and-conditions-employment?
On http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/4113-additional-university-payments-faculty,
two paragraphs from the previous version (starting with "Teaching in the
Division...") have been removed. No update has been noted, so it
looks like they were deleted inadvertently.
The previous policy on "Employment of Members of the
Same Family and Academic Conflicts of Interest" has been split into http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/4210-academic-conflicts-interest
and http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/4211-employment-members-same-family.
But each page has exactly the same text. Long ago, when there was
only an employment policy, it consisted of just the first paragraph, so maybe
the remaining three paragraphs comprise the academic policy.
The vendors are wildly out of date on
I don't see how including the vendor improves the document,
whereas if the name were stricken the policy wouldn't have to be continually updated. The life insurance options
are also no longer accurate.
On http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/511-benefits-retired-faculty,
second paragraph under "Retirement Leave", second sentence should
read "2.5%" to conform with wording in CBA,
Section 9.8(c).
On http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/514-tuition-exchange, the
information regarding scheduling, etc., is out of date. Perhaps a link
to http://www.udel.edu/Benefits/menu_tuitionexchange.html
would be better.
