All changes in the Faculty
Handbook are subject to review and approval by the Board of Trustees.
The Faculty Handbook is designed to serve as a source
of information about Randolph College, the terms of employment for
faculty members, fringe benefits, administrative policies, and other basic
matters of interest to members of the College faculty and their families. The
College's policies and practices have developed over the years in part from the
directives of the Board of Trustees, in part from policies issued by the
executive officers of the College, in part from faculty legislation and
recommendation, and in part from the requirements of Federal and State law. This
Faculty Handbook is not intended to set forth or amplify the contractual
relationship between the College and its faculty members. It is the College's
expectation and intention that the policies described herein will from time to
time be modified, rescinded, or replaced. Faculty members, accordingly, should
not rely on the contents of the Faculty Handbook as more than a digest of
the College's policies and practices.
