Faculty Handbook Foreword
This Faculty Handbook is intended to provide faculty members of Pratt
Institute with a collection of the current policies and procedures of Pratt Institute. This Handbook reflects Institute policy at the date of publication and is subject
to change.
This Handbook does not confer any contractual right nor does
it guarantee any fixed term or condition of employment. Many of the personnel
policies for the faculty are addressed by the Collective Bargaining Agreement
between the Pratt Institute administration and the United Federation of College
Teachers (here-after referred to as CBA). This handbook is not intended to replace
or otherwise contravene any provision or any requirement of the current CBA. Thus
Pratt faculty should consult the CBA on specific issues pertaining to personnel,
benefits, workload, and any or all conditions of employment.
Pratt Institute
is a unique undergraduate and graduate college, with faculty requirements and
needs differing from a liberal arts institution. Faculty members at Pratt are
required to exhibit creativity and flexibility in their roles and responsibilities
both inside and outside the classroom and studio. Pratt's faculty members are
prominent in many fields and initiate much of the academic and innovative activity
at the college. |
