The 1976 Indiana University faculty handbook begins with a brief discussion of the university's objectives and ideals. The information, policies, and procedures that follow are applicable to all campuses of the university system. Topics covered include: the board of trustees, administrative organization of the university system, organization of the faculty, formal ceremonies, the academic appointee and his relationship to the university (appointment policies, administrator search and screening procedures, responsibilities and privileges, fringe benefits, and professional development), the academic appointee and his relationship to the student (admissions, examinations, grading, cheating, and a school-year calendar), and academic services.
