Faculty Handbook DEPARTMENTAL GOVERNANCE The Chairpersons and Center Directors, appointed by the Board of Trustees, are responsible to the Dean. The Chairpersons and Center Directors are responsible for the administration of various departmental functions, including recommendations for appointment and promotion, academic affairs, teaching assignments, space allocation within the Department or Center and administration of the Departmental or Center budget. Specific governance for each Department and Center will depend upon the requirements of the individual Departments and Centers and guidelines established by each Department Chairperson and Center Director. Each Department and Center, however, must establish a procedure to deal with issues of professional conduct, credentials, appointments, promotions, quality assurance (for clinical departments), and faculty grievances. The procedures should be submitted in writing to the Dean and distributed to the faculty within each Department and Center. |
