About This Document

The Faculty Senate may make mechanical, grammatical, format, and consistency corrections to the SAU Faculty Handbook with simple approval by the Senate, rather than presenting those corrections to the General Faculty. Substantive changes to the Faculty Handbook are subject to approval by the Faculty Assembly and by the Board of Trustees, with the exception of amendments to Chapters V (Standing Committees), VI (Academic Policies), and X (Search Policy for Faculty and Administration), which are final with the approval of the University President. Electronic versions of all forms are preferable and will be available via hyperlink within the Handbook. Whenever hyperlinks are unavailable, materials shall appear in an appendix. Forms are not considered part of the Handbook itself and may be updated with the approval of the President.
