Relevant University Policies

 

Notes:

Fundamental Responsibilities... No member of the faculty shall be absent from his/her classes or other regular duties at the University except by permission of the chancellor or appropriate dean. Faculty members shall avoid a concentration of class hours that is detrimental to effective teaching. Faculty Policies and Procedures, Chapter 8.02

Vacation. If you are an academic-year basis (9 month) staff member, whether full or part-time, you do not earn vacation and are expected to work during the appointment period except for days specifically listed as paid holidays. (Almost all faculty and instructional academic staff in L&S are on an academic-year basis. If you are an annual-basis employee, see the Benefits Booklet for details about accrued vacation time.)
