Outdated faculty handbooks limit institutional flexibility and can create significant liabilities. This online training will outline five common problems with faculty handbooks and offer practical solutions to address each issue.

You will leave with clarity around whether your handbook:

  • Complies with Title IX, the ADA, and other civil rights laws
  • Aligns with your board’s bylaws, organizational structure, and mission
  • Defines how academic freedom, shared governance, and tenure work on your campus

Who should attend?

This online training is appropriate for those responsible for managing faculty handbooks, including academic affairs administrators, human resources professionals, and legal counsel.

Case Studies and Real-Life Examples

This online training highlights real-life situations. Using case study scenarios, you will receive practical do’s and don’ts to help you update your handbook. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions about your faculty handbook and receive answers from our expert instructor.
