PURPOSE:
To state the University Libraries' position on notification of resignation or retirement by a Libraries' faculty member or academic administrator.

A letter of resignation or retirement must be sent to the Dean with copies to Libraries Human Resources and the immediate supervisor.
EXPECTATIONS OF TEACHING FACULTY:
A teaching faculty member is expected to finish any course or courses in progress.
REQUESTS FOR A REDUCTION OR WAIVER OF THE NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
