4.17 Amendment of Handbook
Amendments to the Faculty Handbook may be proposed to Faculty
Council at any time by any member of the faculty or administration. Faculty
Council will establish a standing committee to consider these proposals
in conjunction with the president, provost/VPAA, and college counsel.
Faculty will be apprised of proposals, and an opportunity for faculty
comments and suggestions will be provided. On substantive proposals, the
committee will ascertain faculty opinion. If the committee and administrators
listed above agree to submit a proposed amendment to the Ithaca College
Board of Trustees, the president will convey it to the next meeting of
the trustees. Proposed amendments received by the president by December 31
will be considered by the Ithaca College Board of Trustees at its subsequent
February meeting. Unless otherwise stated, such amendments will become
effective June 1 following approval by the Ithaca College Board of
Trustees.
Volume IV describes rights and responsibilities of the faculty and,
as such, is part of the rules and regulations of the College. The provisions
of the Faculty Handbook (including the amendment procedure described above)
are not intended to supersede or alter the authority of the Ithaca College
Board of Trustees or its bylaws. |
