Michael Garanzini, S.J., President, has appointed a Faculty Handbook Committee to prepare a revised version of the handbook. One of the critical elements of accomplishing the committee's charge is the solicitation and evaluation of the concerns, issues and suggestions of those members of our university community whose professional lives are affected by such a document. As a result, the committee is seeking the maximum feasible amount of involvement from full- and part-time faculty at Loyola.
Review and Respond
All faculty members are invited to review the
Full-time Faculty Handbook and the
Part-time Faculty Guidebook, and to send their observations to the committee via e-mail to: handbook@luc.edu. All members of the committee will receive any messages sent to this unique e-mail address.
The committee invites comments from individuals, as well as from larger
bodies such as ad hoc groups, organized interest groups, school councils,
departments, affinity groups, etc.
Steps Taken
The Faculty Handbook Committee has been engaged in an extensive process of research and discussion. It has reviewed similar faculty documents at peer institutions and has sought out descriptions of model handbook features and best practices. The committee has held meetings with the following groups:
- College of Arts and Sciences Academic Council (5/18/05)
- Council of Deans (3/17/05)
- Faculty Council (3/16/05)
- Lakeside AAUP (3/18/05)
- School of Education Academic Council (5/4/05)
- School of Nursing Executive Committee (5/2/05)
- SSOM Executive Faculty Group (7/18/05)
- SSOM Faculty Senate Steering Committee (7/12/05)
The committee also held two open forums for faculty at the Water Tower Campus (4/27/05) and the Lake Shore Campus (4/28/05).
Next Steps
The committee is currently scheduling a meeting with the librarians and an open forum for SSOM faculty. In addition, the committee has begun drafting the revised Faculty Handbook.
