PREFACE

 

 

 

This Faculty Handbook, a statement of current policies and procedures involving or affecting members of the faculty and to some extent, administrators at Colorado College, has been approved by the President of the College, the faculty and the Board of Trustees.

 

The Handbook describes the policies adopted by the faculty, procedures and organizational structures established by the administration, and policies set by the Board of Trustees.  The publication of this Handbook should not be interpreted to imply encroachment upon the traditional prerogatives of the Colorado College faculty.  The faculty retains the right to change any policy or procedure which falls within its jurisdiction.

 

This Handbook is only a working guide for faculty and administrators at Colorado College, and does not contain the terms of any employee=s contract with the College.  Only a written agreement signed by the President or the Dean may be relied on as an employment contract.

 

This Handbook will be revised periodically as new policies and procedures consistent with the Colorado College by-laws are adopted by faculty, administration, and trustees.  A copy of the College by-laws is available in the President=s Office.

 

This Handbook is effective June 1, 1999.  It supersedes all prior Faculty Handbooks at Colorado College, as well as memoranda or letters issued on the same subjects as those covered in this Handbook.
