Historical Note
The Faculty Code contains information about the composition and responsiblities of the faculty, faculty legislation, academic regulations and procedures, and student activities. The Faculty Handbook includes information regarding positions and appointments of faculty members, compensation, personnel guidelines and procedures, teaching and advising, professional development, faculty organization and governance, resignation and retirement, and research policies. Earlier codes and handbooks cover both faculty and staff, but beginning in the 1970s, the staff had separate codes and handbooks from the faculty.
