Texas A&M University-Commerce Faculty
Handbook |
|
| Foreword This handbook is designed as a brief and easily accessible summary of the Texas A&M University-Commerce policies, procedures, programs, and practices that affect the lives of faculty members. We hope it provides both basic information of use to new faculty members and a handy reference summary for current faculty. The handbook is not a contract between the university and members of its faculty. Nor is it a statement of university policies and procedures. Faculty members wishing to see formal statements may consult the official Texas A&M University-Commerce policy by going to the following web site: http://www7.tamu-commerce.edu/administration/policies/ . This handbook summarizes many of these policies, and each summary includes a citation to the official policy on which it is based. Thus, the handbook provides an easy index. Because procedures are continually updated, faculty members are encouraged to examine the full, current policies that concern them. It
is hopeful that the faculty members of Texas A&M University-Commerce
find this handbook to be both easy to use and helpful. All questions
and comments concerning any information in this document should be directed
by e-mail to:
A Special Note This handbook is meant to be a guide for all faculty members alike: full-time and part-time, tenured and non-tenured, permanent, adjunct and ad interim, no matter what the rank. Most of the topics discussed here, whether they deal with rights and/or responsibilities, apply to all faculty equally. In the cases of exceptions (specifically the tenure, promotion, and merit evaluation policies), the exceptions have been spelled out at the relevant points in the text. Hopefully, you will find this document useful during your employment at Texas A&M University-Commerce.
