Expectations of Faculty

As of the Fall 2009 semester, all faculty who are entitled to benefits must complete biweekly electronic time reports, recording the days on which they were engaged in University duties.  These data are necessary for determining sick leave, and where appropriate, annual  and  personal leave.  These reports should be completed in an accurate and timely manner. 

All faculty are expected to meet their classes and keep office hours.  When unforeseen circumstances arise precluding meeting classes, and the instructor cannot arrange a substitute, the instructor should notify the department chair as far in advance as possible and, where possible, notify affected students. For more detailed information, see the Reasonable Expectations of Faculty as outlined in the Undergraduate Student Grievance Procedure.

Relevant Student Policies
All faculty should be acquainted with the relevant student policies.  Each is available on our webpage.  Four that are particularly relevant deal with:

• Arbitrary and Capricious Grading for Undergraduate and Graduate students
• Classroom Climate
• Human Relations Code
• Sexual Harassment
