Faculty Handbook

Sections 

The University of Oregon Faculty Handbook is a compendium of issues relating to working conditions for faculty with appropriate resources and links to relevant information. The Faculty Handbook does not, itself, constitute university policy, and its contents are not grievable. Instead, it is meant to serve as a resource for the benefit of all university employees and for ease of reference.

This handbook provides resources and information for all University of Oregon faculty.  However, some sections of the handbook refer to policies and procedures that apply differently to faculty members who are represented by United Academics and to faculty members who are not represented. If faculty members are unsure whether they are represented or unrepresented, they should consult with their department head, director, or dean. More information about bargaining unit status can be found on the Human Resources website.
