The faculty handbook published in 1972 offers seven major sections of information: administrative offices, their duties and responsibilities; councils and committees; policies; benefits and services; procedures; use of university premises and facilities; and social and professional opportunities. Specific details are included on academic freedom and tenure, salary, rank and promotion, teaching loads, student records, patents and copyrights, office hours, retirement, summer employment, leaves of absence, travel, research, insurance, credit union, grading, curriculum changes, budget requests, personnel records, and absentee reporting. Appendices are included on the Charter of the University Faculty Council, the policy on academic freedom, responsibility, and tenure, tenure election policies and procedures, and the "rank-step" system.
