This edition of the handbook of the University of Kansas is conceived and published more as a policy manual than as an informational text. Included are policies, regulations, and other data of interest to staff members. Details are provided on: university organization; university government; faculty appointment policies and procedures; appointment terms and benefits; leave policies; academic rules and regulations; services; research; and general policies and procedures. Further information on academic freedom, tenure, and selection and review of administrators is given in the appendices. (LBH)
