The purpose of the Yale University Faculty Handbook is to present in a convenient form the most important University policies and practices as they apply to the faculties of the University. The policies included and referred to in this book form part of the essential employment understandings between members of the faculty and the University.
The Faculty Handbook is meant to inform and serve members of the administration as well as the faculty. The current edition (2002) is the first major revision since 1993, and it supersedes all previous versions. In addition, this edition of the Handbook is available on line at http://www.yale.edu/provost/handbook/. The text of the Handbook on the web includes automatic links to University policies and resources available at Yale websites.
The Handbook will be revised and updated annually. Except for rare circumstances, such as new policies required by federal or state law to go into effect immediately, changes in University policies affecting faculty will be made and incorporated in the Handbook only once a year, in July. As such changes are anticipated, they will appear on line in a special appendix where they will be collected until the next annual update. Important changes, particularly any that must go into effect immediately, will also be announced to individual faculty in a special email message and, in some cases, by announcement in the Yale Bulletin and Calendar.
