Faculty members are urged to become familiar with relevant handbooks, available to faculty through school and department offices. Access to Scheduled Classes Scheduled University classes normally are open only to students who have formally registered for the classes in the customary manner. The instructor responsible for a class may give permission to attend to a person not duly registered for the class and may require unauthorized persons to leave the classroom. The instructor may establish limits concerning the extent to which class proceedings may be recorded and may permit or prohibit the use of electronic recording devices at his or her discretion. The University strongly urges that faculty members attempt to secure external support for their research where this is possible and appropriate.
Proposals originate with the individual faculty member or groups of investigators.
The dean then forwards the proposal to ORSP, where it is recorded, reviewed for adherence to University and agency requirements and University budget regulations, signed for the University, and sent to the sponsor. ORSP is responsible for preaward and postaward service to investigators. Members of the staff are available to assist with negotiations, work out troublesome details, and answer questions. They ensure that proposals are reviewed and approved before submission, maintain records, receive awards, establish accounts, and provide postaward assistance. In the case of human subjects, the review is to determine the extent of risk to the subjects, the benefits to be derived from the activity, whether the activity meets certain ethical and scientific standards, and whether the protocols assure obtaining appropriate informed consent.
