Northwestern Oklahoma State University Faculty Handbook
Northwestern Oklahoma State University has been expected to provide educational opportunities and leadership ever since it was established in 1897. It has met those expectations, attaining a reputation for being excellent in its academic offerings and obliging in its service.
These things have been accomplished and can be maintained only through the efforts of a dedicated faculty. A faculty that does its best is one that is knowledgeable in matters affecting the instructional staff. This handbook is an effort to see that you are informed in these respects.
Revisions in policies and procedures are necessary as time goes on and as conditions change. Your suggestions to help keep us abreast of these needed changes are solicited.
You are encouraged to use this handbook as a reference manual and a guide in all the areas it covers.
Bo Hannaford
President
NOTE
If any policy statement in the Northwestern Faculty Handbook conflicts with stated policy in the Policy Manual of the Regional University System of Oklahoma, the latter will take precedence.
It is the faculty member’s responsibility to keep up with any changes in this handbook.
