The Handbook for Faculty was established as a guide to the College for members of the faculty. The first web-based version was introduced in 2001 to provide quicker access for users. Printouts of this version were made available in the College's libraries and CD-ROM disks were sent to the faculty. The Handbook for Faculty is maintained by the Office of the Provost and kept current with College policies. During the 2006-06 academic year the Committee on Appointments reviewed and amended the Appointments Procedures. Changes were made at that time to make the Handbook consonant with the Plan of Governance of Bryn Mawr College, adopted in 2005, and the By-Laws of the General Faculty, adopted in 2006. In summer 2007, the description of continuing non-tenure track appointments was amended to be in conformity with the guidelines adapted by the College during the 2006-07 academic year.Please note that the policies and procedures described herein are not to be construed as contractual obligations or commitments on the part of the College.
