The Faculty Handbook has been prepared for faculty members of The University of Memphis in the office of the Provost with recommendations from the Faculty Senate. The Handbook is subject to change through action of the Board of Regents and the administration of the University. Requests for copies of the Handbook and suggestions for its revision should be sent to the Provost, Room 372, Administration Building. Proposed changes to the Faculty Handbook will be reviewed by an appropriate committee of the Faculty Senate before any changes are inserted.
Faculty members are responsible for ensuring that their copies are up to date.
Faculty members should also be familiar with those sections of University publications that are pertinent to their teaching, research, advising, and administrative assignments. The Bulletin is supplemented by the Schedule of Classes, which is published for the fall and spring semesters and for the summer session. The fall and summer schedules are normally available in March and the spring schedule in October. Because these publications are designed for students and the general public, they do not contain much of the information that faculty members need and that this Handbook will provide. These manuals are also available on-line through the University's root gopher, click on Campus Information to find Policies and Procedures.
