Definition
This section clarifies the types of policies governing faculty roles at the University of Houston. It also describes procedures for amending the policies should they not meet the characteristics of effective policies described above.
To include policies in the Faculty Handbook, the Provost will review the proposed policies or amendments, revise the recommendations, if necessary, and forward them to the Handbook Committee. The policies should be reviewed by the faculty governance bodies represented by the Handbook Committee members. (Please see section Guidelines for Revision of the Faculty Handbook, page 145). Should the faculty committees suggest substantive changes, the Provost will review those recommendations before submitting the final policy to the Chancellor/President for approval. The policy will appear in the Handbook as approved by the Chancellor/President.
