Welcome
The Purpose of the Faculty Handbook is to describe the administrative policies and procedures of the University which affect academic units. Reasonable efforts have been made to cover all important matters and to ensure that the contents are accurate; in the event that areas of policy have been omitted or are not stated clearly, or if ambiguities or inconsistencies are found to exist, decisions will be made by appropriate officials of the University.
The University reserves the right to amend or alter the conditions and terms contained in this Handbook as it deems necessary. The University will attempt to give notice of changes of information, policy, and procedure to faculty members and administrative personnel; inquiries as to whether the information contained herein is the current policy and procedure of the University should be made at the Office for Academic Affairs. Board of Trustees Rule 151 contains this statement:
Although this handbook intends to reflect currently any policies or rules of the Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama referred to or incorporated herein, users are cautioned that changes or additions to such policies or rules may have become effective since the publication of this material. In the event of such a conflict the current statements of Board policy contained in the official minutes of rules, bylaws, and guidelines shall prevail.
This Handbook will be revised periodically. The revision process will include consultation with the Council of Deans and with the Steering Committee of the Faculty Senate. Suggestions for changes should be addressed to the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs.
