Faculty Guides serve the University community as independent resources to discuss challenging faculty issues and identify related information regarding institutional policy. Through their service, Guides help ensure the appropriate use of policies, and thereby a positive and equitable work environment.
Guides are also available to chairs. Although chairs have comparable policy expertise, Guides can help chairs consider multiple perspectives and understand the university policy environment more broadly.
What can you ask a Guide about?
Guides are available to meet one-on-one, to listen and help faculty members understand which university policies might be relevant to a specific professional and/or personal situation. Guides provide information so that individual faculty members and chairs better understand what policy options and resources are available. Examples include:
- Utilizing faculty leave (e.g., parent or medical leaves)
- Mental health resources for faculty and staff
- Understanding and navigating potential conflicts of interest
- Finding out more about retirement before talking to HR or your chair
- How to find information about promotion and tenure procedures
