General procedures, policies, and services of the university are outlined in the 1975 edition of the handbook. More detailed information in some areas may be found in other university publications, and a complete set of State University System Rules and Regulations is not included. This handbook is organized into the following sections: university organization and administration; affirmative action policy; faculty welfare; academic relationships; learning resources services; university and faculty services; student life and development; master calendar; institutional relations; and the State University Board. Specific details are offered on faculty appointment and promotion, insurance, absences, retirement, fringe benefits, academic standards, course load, grading, attendance, advising, class schedules, continuing and summer education, and faculty-community relations.
