Conditions Governing Access

Records of the Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty are closed for 20 years from the date of creation. Access to files spanning multiple years will be opened to researchers based on the date of the most recent materials. Student educational records such as credentials, grade sheets, correspondence, reports, notes, applications, and all other records pertaining to past and present students are governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and are restricted for 75 years from the date of creation. Personnel related files of the college's faculty and staff, including search, review, promotion, reappointment, tenure, and disciplinary/grievance records, are restricted for 75 years from the date of creation. Additional restrictions may apply to other materials in this collection.

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.
