Faculty Manual - pdf version

Preface

The Drake University Faculty Manual is designed to serve as a resource for faculty members. The manual contains basic University principles, policies, and procedures as well as information assumed to be of interest to faculty.

Many policies have been adopted officially by the Board of Trustees and/or by the Faculty Senate. Such official action is noted where appropriate.  Other policies and procedures have been approved by the President or other administrators in carrying out responsibilities assigned to them. Still, other procedures have developed through custom and usage.

Policies and procedures listed in the faculty manual may be changed, amended or eliminated by the same authority, using the same procedures that originated the policy or procedure. The Faculty Manual will be updated as appropriate by the Office of the Provost in consultation with the Faculty Senate. Suggested changes or additions to the Faculty Manual should be sent to the Provost.
