The handbook is an official document representing the specific point of reference for academic and administrative procedures related to the daily operation of the college. However, information that is available in other official documents such as the college catalog is not duplicated here. Its contents include: the college administration's organization; the specific duties and general responsibilities of administrative personnel; bylaws and policies of the faculty, covering compensation, benefits, summer teaching, separation from the college, and due process, and committee structures; library policies and collections; the college's articles of incorporation and bylaws; and a statement of athletic policy.
