Dear Colleagues, I trust that you will find this handbook a valuable tool as you navigate your responsibilities and opportunities here at East Texas A&M University. As faculty, we strive to create an environment where academic freedom, innovative teaching, and collaborative research are central to our work. Sincerely, |
The East Texas A&M University Faculty Handbook provides current, new, and prospective faculty members a convenient guide to useful information that supports faculty success and engagement at the university, including:
The text of the Handbook includes links to official system policies and university procedures, as well as to resources available on the East Texas A&M website. This Handbook is meant to serve as a guide for all faculty members, regardless of rank and tenure status. This Handbook is not a contract between the university and members of its faculty; it is only a guide.
The official policies and procedures of the system and the university will govern the topics addressed, and form part of the essential employment understandings between faculty members and the university. This Handbook supersedes any prior Faculty Handbook. The information contained in the Handbook is subject to change as a result of action by federal and/or state governments, the Board of Regents of the Texas A&M University System, and the administration of East Texas A&M University. Consequently, the Handbook should be considered a living document that will be revised as laws change, and policies, procedures, and practices evolve.
As procedures are continually updated, faculty members should always examine the full and current policies and procedures that concern them. Faculty members wishing to see the formal statements may follow the links provided in the text of the Handbook or consult the websites for the Texas A&M University System Policies or the East Texas A&M Rules and Procedures.
Questions and comments concerning any information in the Handbook should be directed to the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Faculty members should also be familiar with university publications such as the Undergraduate Catalog, Graduate Catalog, Student Guidebook, and the university’s Strategic Plan.
