Preface
IIT's Faculty Handbook provides a body of basic information for members of the academic staff at Illinois Institute of Technology. This compilation includes those procedures, policy statements and regulations that are of particular concern to members of IIT's faculty and academic administration. It does not purport to be a comprehensive documentation of all university matters. It is intended that this handbook will provide introductory information about the university to new members of IIT's faculty and will also serve as a convenient reference for all faculty members.

The information in this handbook is subject to change according to the process detailed in Appendix P. Changes will be duly published.
