Faculty Handbook

This handbook/resource guide presents the official policies, practices, and information pertinent to all faculty at the School of Information. It supplements, but does not supersede, the Provost’s Faculty Handbook, the University of Michigan Standard Practice Guide (SPG), and other official policies of the University. It is the intention that this handbook document UMSI policies and practices relating to faculty and assist faculty in identifying other UM policies of importance to them. If, however, there are more recent written policy statements from the Dean, or a delegated policy making authority by the Dean, those more recent statements will supersede this handbook. We will make every effort to ensure that the documents linked by the URLs are the most up-to-date and authoritative.
