Preface
This Guide
has been changed to a web-based edition and is designed as a quick reference
regarding issues that most faculty encounter, either routinely or eventually,
in carrying out their various responsibilities at The College at
Brockport. It was created mindful that much more comprehensive
publications, i.e.,
The Faculty/Staff Handbook,
are available. Indeed, the comprehensiveness of those publications was
one of the inspirations for a more accessible reference. The Guide reflects the content of those publications in many ways, but has reorganized
much of this information, and (where helpful) changed the language into more of
a “plain English” version. It has also added direction on “practices” and “expectations” that, while
not having the status of formal “policy” (as presented in the Faculty/Staff Handbook),
nevertheless address issues that characterize much of everyday academic life at
Brockport.
Please navigate the Guide
