Faculty Handbook Editor

Re: Report

Sandra J. Perry was elected Faculty Handbook Editor last spring and took over the on-line Faculty Handbook duties from the Ad Hoc Handbook Committee. Chapter 5 of the Handbook was added to the on-line version at the beginning of the fall semester. This year to date, there have been no changes to the Handbook from Senate. I have made a few typographical corrections to the Handbook as they were noticed. A hidden counter was added to the main page, and since January 14, 2000, there have been over 1000 visits to the page. Hard copies of the Handbook were provided to the President’s and Provost’s offices, and the library, as required by the Handbook:

The Faculty Handbook Editor shall:

a. serve as an ex officio member of the Senate,

b. maintain the Faculty handbook by making changes after approval by the appropriate bodies as specified by established procedures ,

c. inform the University community of changes that have been made,

d. develop and maintain a digital archive of all Handbook materials that have been replaced or revised so that lineage of all changes can be traced,

e. maintain hardcopies in the offices of the President and Provost and the library by placing a hardcopy of any changes in an accompanying folder and annually

provide up-to-date copies.
