Faculty Handbook

Preface

 

 

The purpose of the Faculty Handbook is to govern the relationship between the Faculty and the Administration and Board of Regents of Western New Mexico University.

A Faculty Handbook cannot be static nor can it ever be expected to achieve total perfection. There is an obligation, therefore, on all persons having occasion to refer to this Handbook to suggest improvements, additions, or clarifications as they may be perceived to be necessary or helpful to the common goal. Procedures for amendments are covered in Section l05 of the Handbook.
