University of Southern Indiana Employee Handbook

PREAMBLE

The University of Southern Indiana University Handbook is primarily for the faculty, administrative, and support staff of the University. The aim of the University Handbook is to assemble basic information, including practices, policies, rules, regulations, and procedures which are of importance and general interest to the USI faculty and staff members.

This University Handbook represents policy and procedural statements which have been approved specifically for the University of Southern Indiana. In an evolving and dynamic institution of higher education, policies and procedures are subject to constant change and revision; and the University, through appropriate processes, reserves the right to add, amend, or repeal policies and procedures and related publications, regulations, rules, resolutions, standing orders, and rules of procedures, in whole or part. This University Handbook is for informational purposes only. Every effort has been made to assure accuracy. However, should any conflict arise between the explanations presented in the University Handbook and the text of master policies, the text of the master policies shall govern in all cases. The president of the University is authorized to grant exceptions to established policies.

For purposes of this University Handbook and to facilitate readability, all reference to "he", "his", or "him" is gender neutral. With the restructuring of the support staff classification system, all reference to “support staff” shall be intended to apply to non-exempt support staff. As policies are updated, corrections to these references will be made.

PROCEDURES FOR AMENDMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY HANDBOOK

All requests for policy additions, deletions, and revisions should be forwarded to Donna Evinger  Requests will be forwarded to the administrative council for approval.

NOTE:
Employees will be expected to read and make themselves familiar with USI policies and procedures.  Departments will need to print changes to maintain an updated handbook and are encouraged to maintain their departmental copy by adding the corrections and updates as they are available on the web update page.
