1.1

PART I

DESCRIPTIVE AND PROCEDURAL INFORMATION

A. INTRODUCTION

Historical Sketch

Pace University is a non-profit institution of higher education which provides instruction leading to graduate and undergraduate degrees. It offers admission to qualified men and women without regard to age, race, creed, national origin, or handicap. The University has five locations: the Civic Center Campus in lower Manhattan adjacent to City Hall, the Midtown Center at 535 Fifth Avenue, and three suburban facilities in Westchester County, one in Pleasantvi1le, one in Briarcliff, and the other in White Plains.

Formerly known as Pace Institute, the institution was organized in 1906 by Homer St. Clair Pace and Charles Ashford Pace as an evening school to prepare men and women for the professional work of the public accountant. It functioned in this manner until 1919 when a day program was initiated in response to the demand which followed World War I for full-time study in accountancy and business administration. In December 1948 the name Pace Institute was changed to Pace College by action of the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, and authority to confer degrees was granted. In the spring of 1973, when the Board of Regents approved Pace's application for university status, Pace College became Pace University.

The size and scope of the institution have indeed reached university proportions. Day and evening programs are offered at all three campuses under the auspices of the following schools: Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, School of Computer Science and Information Systems, Lubin School of Business Administration, The College of White Plains, School of Education, Lienhard School of Nursing, Lubin Graduate School of Business, and School of Law. Approximately 17,000 students are currently enrolled in the undergraduate programs, more than 7,000 are enrolled in graduate and professional programs, and almost 4,000 are enrolled in special programs.

At present, undergraduate programs of study are offered leading toward the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), the Bachelor of Science (B.S.), the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.), the Bachelor of Professional Studies (B.P.S.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), the Associate in Arts (A.A.), the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.), and the Associate in Science (A.S.).

1.2

Graduate programs of study are offered leading toward the Juris Doctor (J.D.), the Doctor of Professional Studies (D.P.S.), the Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), the Master of Arts (M.A.), the Master of Science (M.S.), the Master of Science in Education (M.S. in Ed.), the Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.). and the Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.).

In Westchester, Pace University's Pleasantville campus was established in 1963 and has grown rapidly since then. In July 1975. the College of White Plains joined Pace University to become The College of White Plains of Pace University. Programs offered on the White Plains campus include most undergraduate programs, the School of Law, and graduate programs in computer science, public administration and business. In 1978 the University acquired the assets of Briarcliff College and now utilizes the dormitory and office facilities on that campus as an integral part of the activities of the total Pleasantville/Briarcliff complex.

The Midtown Center, in midtown Manhattan. was opened in 1977 and offers courses to day and evening students on both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Accreditation and Memberships

Pace University is chartered by the Regents of the State of New York and is an accredited member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In New York City, Dyson College has an American Chemical Society accredited program in Chemistry. The Associate Degree, Bachelor of Science Degree, Specialty Master's Degree and generic Master's Degree programs in Nursing are accredited by the National League for Nursing. The Law School is accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools.

The University is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the American Council on Education, the Association of American Colleges, the Association for Continuing Higher Education, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Nursing Association, the National University Continuing Education Association, the Association of Colleges and Universities of the State of New York, the American Association of University Women, the American Association of Colleges for Teachers Education, the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, Middle Atlantic Association of Colleges of Business Administration, the National League for Nursing, the College Entrance Examination Board, the Southern Division of the Association of Colleges of the Mid-Hudson Area, the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities, the Institute of International Education, the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs, the Council for International Educational Exchange, the College Consortium for International Studies, and the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States.

Institutional Integrity

By academic tradition and by philosophical principle an institution of higher learning is committed to the pursuit of truth and to the communication of truth to others. To carry out this essential commitment calls for institutional integrity in the way the University manages its affairs, specifies its goals, selects and retains its faculty, admits students, establishes curricula, awards credentials, determines programs of research and establishes its fields of service.

The maintenance and exercise of such institutional integrity postulates and requires appropriate autonomy and freedom. Put positively this is the freedom to examine data, to question assumptions, to be guided by evidence, to teach what one knows, to be a learner and a scholar. Put negatively this is a freedom from harassment which hinders or prevents the University from carrying out its essential purposes.

Intellectual freedom does not rule out commitment; rather it makes commitment possible - and personal. Freedom does not require neutrality on the part of the individual, certainly not toward the task of inquiry and learning, nor toward the value system which may guide him or her as a person.

Objectives and Philosophy

Pace University bases its educational programs upon a philosophy which holds that each individual member of its community must be given every opportunity to realize his or her full potential. The University's primary objective with

1.4

respect to its students is to provide, through the educational process, a means whereby they can develop as complete human beings who possess the competence to contribute both to their own welfare and to society's through productive, meaningful activity.

Such an educational philosophy includes the premise that every individual is unique, and the University's programs correspondingly reflect and support the diversity of its student body. The programs are based on a common core of liberal arts subjects while providing opportunities for specialization in the humanities, sciences, nursing, business, education, and the professions. Within the structure of planned programs a considerable degree of freedom is allowed for the selection of specific subjects in broader areas of study.

Honor Societies

Pace honors students who achieve academic excellence in various disciplines by election to the following Greek letter societies:

Kappa Mu Epsilon Omicron Delta Epsilon

Phi Alpha Theta

Alpha Chi - National Honor Society (all campuses)Beta Beta Beta - National Biological Society (all campuses) Delta Mu Delta - students in the M.B.A., M.S., and D.P.S. programs

For further information, faculty should contact the Director of Academic Computing, or the Manager for User Services at the Pleasantville campus.

Haskins Laboratories

Haskins Laboratories of Pace University are an outgrowth of a 40-year-old institution founded for interdisciplinary research in biology. The Biology Group of Haskins Laboratories moved to Pace in 1969 and, since 1977, has been fully incorporated into the University. Students at Pace, with approval of members of the laboratory and the head of the Biology Department, may engage in professional-level research, primarily in protozoology, biochemistry, and nutrition. This research has applications in medicine, agriculture, and biochemistry. Haskins' facilities are located at 41 Park Row on the New York Campus.

The Center for Applied Research

The Center for Applied Research is responsible for organized research within the Lubin Graduate School of Business. It provides organizational, editorial and financial assistance to faculty members and students engaged in approved research and development projects.

The Center acts as liaison with corporations and government bureaus for special research projects, providing an interface between academic theory and the practical needs of business and government. While much of the Center's research is a direct result of the intellectual responsiveness of the graduate faculty, the Center also engages in contract research for both the public and private sectors.

Informative publications, instrumental in forging a link between the academic

1.9

and business communities, are published by the Center in an ongoing series of monographs, working papers, business case studies and graduate student papers of distinction. The Case Development Laboratory, which assists faculty-student teams in researching, developing, analyzing and writing business cases for academic use, is also a part of the Center for Applied Research.

The Center directs the activities of the Institute for German-American Business Research and Development which was established at the Lubin Graduate School of Business in January, 1981 through the generosity of a founding grant from Lufthansa German Airlines. The mission of the Institute is to develop, support and stimulate scholarly and empirical research contributing to the improved performance of business and economic transactions between West Germany and the United States.

With the support of a grant from the Texaco Philanthropic Foundation, the Center maintains a complete computer facility for faculty research. It is currently building a data bank library for studies on productivity and the micro- and macro-effects of energy price changes.

The Institute of International Banking

The Institute of International Banking was established in response to the need for specialized education and research into the problems associated with inter national banking. In recent years,in conjunction with the growth of inter national business and the internationalization of financial markets, large U.S. commercial banks have greatly expanded their activities abroad. There has also been a significant influx of foreign banks into the New York City area. These institutions face complex issues and their resolution has an important impact on the world economy.

The function of the Institute of International Banking is to identify problems, clarify issues, and suggest solutions. To accomplish this objective successfully, the Institute offers seminars on topical subjects both here and abroad, encourages research on relevant subject matter and publishes scholarly papers. The Institute of International Banking also invites distinguished international bankers and government officials to lecture at the Lubin Graduate School of Business.

The Center for International Business Studies

The Center for International Business Studies was established with a grant from the U.S. State Department's Agency for International Development (AID). The objective of the Center is to conduct research that will assist the international business, financial and commercial communities; determine the problems involved in international business operations; and give guidance and preparation to American and foreign students who wish to pursue a career in international business both here and abroad.

New horizons and new requirements in international business require better understanding of the cultural, social and business relationships with other

1.10

countries. The Center works closely with the American international business community, the United Nations, foreign multinational corporations and trade promotion centers in the United States.

In response to the need for new approaches, concepts and opportunities in international business the Center organizes conferences and seminars to examine closely some of the critical issues facing business enterprises that engage in international operations.

The Center also offers a special program designed to familiarize foreign students and executives with the business environment of the United States. This program serves to introduce foreigners to the U.S. business system and covers such topics as: Structure of Industrial Organizations, Government-Business Relations, U.S. Marketing Structure, Labor-Management Relations, Structure of U.S. Financial Institutions, and the U.S. Business Culture.

The Thinking and Learning Center

The purpose of The Thinking and Learning Center of the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, is to develop faculty and student sensitivity to the importance of critical and analytic thinking skills across the curriculum.

Activities that can be requested include: seminars, courses and workshops for students and faculty, development of curricular materials for video reproduction, supervision of graduate level research, and co-sponsored programs with outside groups interested in human potentiality, conflict resolution and peace.

Faculty interested in developing their own skills in teaching elements of thinking should consult the Director of the Center for Thinking and Learning.

Special Academic Programs:

A variety of specialized academic programs are offered which provide different kinds of learning opportunities for students whose interests and abilities are best served by a departure from the established academic routes.

The number of such programs is growing in response to the multiple needs and expectations of individuals seeking higher education in today's society. A review of the programs currently offered at Pace provides an important perspective on the ways in which the University is prepared to meet the educational needs of its students. Brief descriptions of selected programs follow. Further information about these and other programs may be found in the appropriate catalogs.

American Rumanics. American Rumanics is a national program that seeks to prepare people for entry-level positions with youth organizations. A cooperative agreement with Pace University provides executive directors at the New York campus. Rumanics staff direct a co-curricular program; recruit and counsel students; administer loan funds available to Humanics students; and facilitate summer, part-time and entry-level employment opportunities. The University engages faculty and provides a sequence of courses in Youth Agency Administration including practice and internships.

C. SUPPORT SERVICES AND GENERALINFORMATION

1. Teaching Related Information and Procedures:

Academic Advisement Services

The offices of the Academic Deans and a variety of staff offices provide services that augment the academic advisement provided by the faculty. The faculty provide academic advisement on matters such as major areas of course concentration, course requirements, prerequisites, and sequencing of courses. Students enrolled in special academic programs can also consult with the program directors. The Division of Continuing Education and Evening Studies gives assistance to all non-matriculated students as well as evening students by functioning as liaison with appropriate academic departments. The counseling centers at all three campuses offer academic advising along with other testing and counseling services.

Academic Regulations

Full information concerning the grading system, the academic calendar and policies on such matters as attendance, examinations, academic integrity and grade appeal processes, may be found in the bulletins of the appropriate

1.16

Schools of the University. Selected information on academic regulations follows in this section.

Class Rosters. On the Civic Center campus, initial class rosters should be picked up from the Registrar's office on the first day of class. Permanent rosters routinely follow. On the Westchester campuses a copy of the initial class roster is placed in the faculty member's mailbox. Permanent rosters routinely follow.

The class roster lists the names of students registered in each class. The roster should be checked carefully for registration errors for the first few class meetings. If a student's name does not appear on the roster the student has either withdrawn, is not enrolled in the section on the Registrar's records or has registered after the roster was prepared. In order to correct any errors, or if there is a student who is attending the class but whose name does not appear on the class roster, the student's name should be indicated on the form provided with the class roster by the Registrar's office.

At the end of the semester, the permanent roster should be returned to the Registrar's Office with students' final grades. (See "Submission of Final Grades" below.)

Classroom Assignments. On the Civic Center campus, room assignments are posted outside the Registrar's office and in the lobby areas of 41 Park Row and the Pace Plaza Building. On the Westchester campuses room assignments are posted in the corridors on all floors of the classroom buildings.

Classroom Changes. If a classroom change must be made for a special event (films, large lectures, etc.), proper authorization should be obtained from the department chairperson and the director of academic scheduling on the campus. In the evening, the Office of Evening Administration can be helpful in the case of an immediate classroom difficulty. To help inform students not aware of a last minute change the pertinent information should be written on the chalkboard. .

Permanent change of classroom must be made through the director of academic scheduling onthe appropriate campus. The chairperson must also be kept informed as well as the Division of Continuing Education and Evening Studies for evening/weekend classes.

Guest Speakers. The department chairperson should be notified when scheduling a guest speaker for a class. The faculty member must be present with the guest speaker.

Final Examinations. A time period is scheduled for final examinations each semester. The final examination is to be given at the time scheduled by the University. The schedule of final examinations for day classes will be distributed in November and April. For evening classes, the final is usually given during finals week at the same time that the classes normally meet. University policy requires that a final examination be given in all classes

1.17

except where permission to substitute another form of assessment is granted. Faculty are expected to proctor their own examinations.

Student Absence from Examination. Students who are unable to take an examination at the appropriate time must apply for a deferred examination with the chairperson of the department in which the course was taken. Permission to take the examination late is at the discretion of the instructor and/or the chairperson. A fee is charged for each deferred examination. Since the application procedure varies somewhat in the Lubin Graduate School of Business, the faculty member should consult the Office of Student Affairs and Advisement for information.

Photocopying of Copyrighted Materials. Refer to Appendix 10 for policy statement and guidelines for photocopying of copyrighted materials for classroom and research use.

Grades and Grading System

Grading Systems. The grading system varies among the undergraduate programs, the graduate programs, and the School of Law. Faculty are advised to consult the appropriate catalogs for details.

Incomplete Work (Grade of I). Inability to complete required course work or to take anexamination may, at the discretion of the instructor, result in a grade of I. A maximum of six weeks will be provided to allow the student to complete the required course work or examination. If the course requirements are not met within the six week period the grade of I will automatically become an F grade.

If, in the judgment of the instructor, the incomplete course work is so extensive that it cannot be completed within the allotted time the grade F may be assigned immediately.

Submission of Final Grades. All final grades must be submitted to the Registrar's Office within seventy-two (72) hours after the final examination except those for graduating seniors which are due within twenty-four (24) hours. All rosters and grade cards are to be submitted directly to the Registrar's Office. The grades for graduating seniors must be entered on the sheet marked "Rush Grades." These grades are processed separately from others in the class and must be turned in on time.

Final grades will be posted outside the Registrar's Office on the first floor of the Civic Center Building, in Miller and Marks Halls in Pleasantville. and in Aloysia Hall and 55 Church Street in White Plains 24 hours after the Registrar's Office receives the rosters from the faculty member.

Grade Changes. Change of grade forms are supplied by the Registrar's Office. These forms should be sent directly to the Registrar and should not be given to students. No grade change may be made beyond six months after the conclusion of the course. Grades changes not made within six weeks after the closing of the semester must have the chairperson's and Dean's approvals.

1.18

Grade Appeal Procedures. As a general principle, the instructor has sole authority to establish standards of performance and to exercise judgments on the quality of student performance but in a manner which reflects reasonable and generally acceptable academic requirements. Grades assigned in this fashion are final except as the instructor may wish to review them. No faculty member, administrator or other individual may substitute his or her judgment of the student's performance for the reasonable judgment of the instructor.

Students who believe that a final grade received in a course was not determined in a manner consistent with the principle described above may appeal that grade by first arranging, within a reasonable period of time (approximately ten days), to meet informally with the instructor to establish a clear understanding of the method by which the grade was determined. Every effort should be made to resolve the matter at the level of the instructor and the student. Students who have difficulty arranging a meeting with the instructor should consult the department chairperson.

If, after meeting with the instructor, the student wishes to continue the grade appeal the student may appeal in writing (with a copy to the instructor) within a reasonable period of time to the chairperson of the department which offers the course in question. The statement should clearly state the basis for questioning the grade received in the course. It should be noted that if the chairperson is the instructor the appeal is to the Dean of the school.

The chairperson's decision to have a grade reviewed or not is final. If the chairperson decides that the method by which the student's grade was determined was not proper, the chairperson will apprise the instructor of the basis for questioning the grade and request that the instructor review the grade. If the instructor for any reason does not review the grade the chairperson will request that at least one other faculty member qualified to teach the course in question review the grade. In the process of such a review the faculty member(s) is(are) authorized to assign a grade change and may, if necessary, require additional examination of the student's performance as a basis for the grade change.

Students may at any point in this appeal process solicit the advice and assistance of an individual faculty or staff member. This individual's authority in these matters is limited to mediating the relationship between the student and the instructor and/or chairperson.

Academic Integrity

All students have an obligation to be honest and to respect ethical standards in meeting academic assignments and requirements. Academic integrity is maintained when students demonstrate intellectual and academic achievement independent of all assistance except that authorized by the instructor. Students who fail to meet this responsibility subject themselves to sanctions ranging from a reduction in grade or failure in the assignment or course in

1.19

which the offense occurred to suspension or dismissal from the University. Students penalized for a breach of academic integrity who wish to appeal such action may petition the chairperson of the department responsible for the course in question to request a hearing on the matter. Faculty are encouraged to take time to explain to their students the difference between an acceptable use of source material and plagiarism.

Academic Tours and Travel

Occasionally it may be necessary or desirable to augment a course of study with a tour or travel program. These tours or travel programs may complement a course or a course may be built around them. They must have clearly defined academic objectives and include lectures, readings, papers and examinations or other equivalent forms of evaluation.

It is necessary to secure three kinds of review and/or approval for such programs: academic, financial and legal. In addition, promotional literature in support of such a program must also be reviewed and approved by the Office of University Communications.

Approval, therefore, must be indicated by the chairperson, Dean, Academic Deans Council, Financial Vice President, and University Counsel. A form to expedite the approval process entitled "Application for Academic Tours" is available through the School Deans.

2. Student Services:

II.1

PART II

CONTRACTUAL INFORMATION

A. THE FACULTY AND THE UNIVERSITY Appointment, Promotion and Salary Increment Criteria The appointment of new faculty members, both full-time and adjunct, shall be initiated by the appropriate chairperson in accordance with departmental procedure (or in the case where a department has no chairperson, by the Dean) approved by the appropriate Dean and the Provost and authorized by the Chancellor. In general, new appointees should meet the minimum requirements for the rank to which they are appointed. In exceptional circumstances, where minimum requirements have been waived, those factors which were the basis for the waiver shall not be considered the basis for future promotion or salary increment. In all matters of appointment, promotion in rank, or increase of salary the primary concern is for excellence of teaching. Other factors to be considered are evidence of professional growth through published research, learned articles or books and participation in programs of professional and learned societies. It is the faculty member's individual responsibility to seek out such research, publication and professional activities. Concrete evidence of achievement should be presented to the appropriate departmental chairperson and Dean. In addition, the faculty member's contribution to the University's welfare shall be considered. Evidence of such contributions include participation in faculty committees and organizations, assistance in departmental planning and programs, the advising of students and student organizations, cooperation in admissions, registration and other related administrative services and participation in activities designed to promote community interest in the University. In addition to these considerations the minimum requirements of service and academic qualifications shall generally be observed in considering faculty members for promotion in rank and it is expected that the faculty member shall have served in his or her present rank a minimum of three years at Pace University. Promotions in rank and increases in salary shall not be automatic but shall be based upon specific recommendations which take into consideration the above conditions as well as any other factors which may be considered to support the recommendation for promotion or increase. The accumulation of minimum years of service and academic degrees alone shall not be sufficient for promotion. Those faculty members, however, who have made outstanding contributions to the academic life of the University, the profession of teaching or in professional

11.2 research or publication may be considered for promotion without direct relation to the minimum requirements of service and academic preparation. Within three years of retirement age after completing twenty-five years of service as a full-time faculty member and having made significant contributions to the well-being of the University a faculty member may be promoted to the next rank at the discretion of the Chancellor. The distribution of faculty ranks and salary increases is subject to the academic structure of the University and its financial condition. Opportunities are provided for discussion regarding the financial condition of the University in the Faculty Councils and the University Senate.

11.4

"I do hereby pledge and declare that I will support the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the State of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the position of according to the best of my ability." Salary Schedules and Review Procedures: After the Annual Budget Message is issued each faculty member's salary is reviewed prior to the preparation of the faculty contract. The chairperson, based on department procedure, will submit recommendations to the Dean for study and approval. All recommendations are further reviewed by the Provost and the President and authorized by the Chancellor. Contracts are normally distributed by March 15 for full-time faculty and by May 1 for adjunct faculty. Faculty contracts should be signed and returned within 30 days. A faculty member wishing to withdraw from the contract should give notice in writing at the earliest possible opportunity, but not later than May 15 or 30 days after receiving notification of the terms of the appointment for the coming year whichever date occurs later. Salary ranges by rank will continue to be published by the Chancellor on a yearly basis and serve as a supplement to this Handbook. The combination of benefits and salary represent bases for A.A.U.P. classification. Salary Appeals. A faculty member may file a salary appeal within 30 days of issuance of the contract. All appeals should be handled according to established University procedure. The appropriate chairperson should first be consulted. Salary questions still unresolved should be taken up with the Dean and the Provost. Should all such avenues be exhausted appeal may be made through a Salary Review Board in those cases where a Review Board has been established (see below). Salary Review Board. There are currently two Salary Review Boards; one serving the members of the New York Faculty Council, and the other serving the members of the Pleasantville/Briarcliff Faculty Council. These three-member Boards of faculty serve as an appeal body in connection with individual undergraduate faculty salary questions still unresolved after consultation with the appropriate chairperson, Dean and Provost. To have the appropriate Salary Review Board convened, a faculty member should submit a request along with a sufficiently detailed statement of the basis for appeal to the Provost, who serves as ex officio member of both Boards. The Board then makes its recommendation directly to the Chancellor. The Chancellor makes the final decision and communicates with the appellant. Members of the Salary Review Boards are nominated periodically by their Respective Faculty Councils and appointed by the Chancellor. In

II.5

New York chairpersons of departments and directors of programs are ineligible for nomination to the Salary Review Board. Adjunct Faculty Rights and Obligations An adjunct faculty appointment does not, in or by itself, constitute an assignment to teach any classes or a right to compensation. Compensation is based solely upon the number of credit hours taught. Teaching assignments are offered at the sole discretion of the University and the adjunct faculty member maintains the option to accept or reject such assignments. It is expected that adjunct faculty members will be actively engaged in a professional field of expertise which may include teaching in another institution. The adjunct appointment carries with it no minimum teaching load requirements and no obligation to serve on University committees. Office hours are not specifically required but adjunct faculty are strongly encouraged to be as accessible as possible to students who may seek assistance. Normally the maximum teaching load is six credit hours per semester. Adjunct faculty members are ineligible to serve either as chairperson of a department or as Dean of a School. An adjunct appointment does not include eligibility for tenure, right of renewal or notification of nonrenewal of contract. Additional rights and benefits to which adjunct faculty are entitled are indicated in this Handbook where appropriate (see also the Guidebook for Adjunct Faculty). Academic Tenure The University supports in principle the A.A.U.P. Statement on Academic Freedom and Tenure. Academic tenure is the right of a faculty member to appointment on a continuing basis without arbitrary or discriminatory treatment. Service should be terminated only for adequate cause except in the case of retirement for age or under extraordinary circumstances because of financial exigencies. Academic tenure is a guarantee of academic freedom and becomes an integral part of the contract between the individual member of the faculty and Pace University. It assumes a strong moral commitment between the parties involved. Length of Probationary Period and Conditions for the Awarding of Tenure Academic tenure provides a means of retaining those faculty members who are excellent teachers and superior scholars who contribute to a mutually enhancing relationship between students and colleagues. Tenure may be granted only to a full-time faculty member with the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor. Instructors who are retained at the University beyond the completion of their probationary period

11.6 must be promoted to Assistant Professor. Persons who hold concurrent faculty and administrative appointments may have tenure only in their faculty capacities. Tenure may be granted during a probationary period which shall not exceed seven (7) calendar years. In computing years of service in fulfillment of this seven-year probationary period, credit shall be given for all calendar years of full-time service at the rank of Instructor or higher at Pace. Credit may also be granted for adjunct teaching at Pace or for full-time service at the equivalent rank of Instructor or higher at other fully accredited institutions of higher education up to, but not exceeding, three (3) years. The Faculty Handbook is considered part of the faculty contract. Under normal contract law a party to the contract may waive or modify any of its terms so it is possible for a faculty member to waive adjunct teaching experience at Pace or full-time teaching experience at another fully accredited institution of higher learning as credit towards tenure providing such waiver is exercised upon initial appointment. In computing years of service for a faculty member who has been teaching at the University for at least two years on an adjunct basis and is appointed to the full-time teaching staff, credit is normally given toward the probationary period in the amount correspondingly proportionate to a full-time teaching load, not to exceed one-half year credit per calendar year, the total not to exceed a maximum of three (3) years of full-time teaching. Years of service at other institutions on an adjunct basis are not counted toward tenure. In the case of a faculty member whose previous experience combines full-time service at other institutions and adjunct teaching at Pace the total credit toward the probationary period shall also not exceed a maximum of three (3) years of full-time teaching. Termination of Appointment of Non-Tenured Faculty

Termination of appointment at the end of a contract period prior to granting of tenure shall be by notice of non-renewal of contract. The faculty member shall be notified by the Dean of the school in writing that his or her contract will not be renewed at the end of the term in accordance with the following schedule:

1. During the first year of academic service at Pace University the faculty member shall be notified in writing of the decision not to renew the contract not later than March 1 of that year and not later than October 1 for mid-year appointees;

2. During the second year of academic service at the University the faculty member shall be notified in writing of

the decision not to renew the contract not later than December 15 of that year. Or, if an initial two-year appointment terminates during an academic year the faculty member will be notified at least six months in advance of its termination;

11.7 3. After two or more years of academic service at the University the faculty member shall be notified in writing of the decision not to renew the contract at least twelve months before the expiration of the appointment, that is, by August 31 for September appointees or January 31 for February appointees. Promotion, Tenure and Separation In the spring of 1973, the Senate approved a proposal concerning procedures for handling matters involving promotion, tenure and separation. The approved proposal requires each School and/or academic department to establish a procedure to handle by democratic process all questions of promotion, tenure and separation. Students are encouraged to establish a procedure whereby they can assess individual faculty members and the proposal requires that their views be made known to the department and be duly considered by each department on a regular basis. Recommendations are to be announced to each department and review within the departments is possible at this point. The final recommendations are made to the Council of Deans and Faculty on Promotions and Tenure (C.D.F.P.T.), which is currently composed of academic Deans from the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Computer Science and Information Systems, the Lubin Schools of Business, the Lienhard School of Nursing, the School of Education, and members of the faculty, two to represent the Pleasantville/Briarcliff campus, two the New York Campus, one the Lubin Graduate School of Business, and one the White Plains Campus, all six of whom are elected by the Faculty Councils. In addition, the Councils elect a faculty alternate for each faculty representative. Any faculty member may apply directly to the Council of Deans and Faculty on Promotion and Tenure. The Council of Deans and Faculty on Promotions and Tenure determines recommendations on promotion and tenure. These are communicated to the departments. Review of the decisions may be made at this point. The recommendations are introduced to the appropriate Faculty Councils by the faculty representatives for vote. After the vote the recommendations are forwarded to the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees. A University-wide Committee hears appeals on a university-wide basis in matters of promotion, tenure and separation. This Committee is currently composed of six members of the faculty who are not on the Council of Deans and Faculty on Promotion and Tenure, two from Pace University in Pleasantville/Briarcliff, two from Pace University in New York, one from Pace University in White Plains, and one from the Lubin Graduate School of Business. Six alternate members are similarly elected to be available in cases of inability to attend or challenge for cause. An individual faculty member has the right to appeal the C.D.F.P.T. decision only as to him or herself. In addition, subsequent to application and non-recommendation by the Appeals Committee of the C.D.F.P.T., a candidate may appeal directly to the Chancellor concerning his or her promotion and/or tenure. A more detailed description of promotion and tenure process is published annually on or about October I by the Provost.

11.8 Change in Status In general the University desires to encourage those full-time faculty members who have the ability and interest to assume full-time administrative responsibilities. The full-time faculty member who accepts a full-time administrative position in the University without retaining a full-time faculty contract still retains academic rank and tenure, if already attained. Administrators are encouraged to continue teaching and research to the extent possible. With respect to the attainment of tenure and/or promotion the administrator must meet the requirements as stated in this Handbook. In order to be considered for tenure and/or promotion, a minimum teaching assignment of two courses per year is required. Teaching Assignments All full-time and adjunct members of the faculty are assigned to a School and to a specific department in those Schools which are departmentalized. Teaching and course assignments are arranged by the department chairperson in consultation with the faculty member and are subject to approval by the Dean. The teaching schedule issued by the department or School should contain the total teaching assignment of the faculty member in the University including teaching assignments within the School, in other Schools within the University, and off-campus. The particular areas of competence and specialized study of each faculty member will be considered whenever possible in determining course assignments. It is expected that the faculty member will adhere to the teaching schedule once it has been assigned. Any change in schedule requires approval of the chairperson and Dean of the School. Activities in Addition to University Responsibilities In addition to fulfilling classroom teaching responsibilities each full-time faculty member is expected to engage in research, writing, student counseling, committee work and other academic duties. Therefore, it is expected that faculty members will engage in no outside work which will impair the faculty member's primary responsibility to the University during the academic year. A full-time faculty member should obtain written approval of the Dean for supplementary activities beyond the normal workload during the academic year. Such activities should not exceed eight contact hours of teaching per year or one day a week of other professional activities.

II.9 Absence from Classes It is required that a faculty member, full-time or adjunct, will be present at all scheduled classes. If the faculty member must unavoidably be absent from class, the chairperson should be notified in order that he or she may provide a substitute faculty member. Faculty who must be absent from class should not assign substitute faculty members without the approval of the chairperson. If the chairperson cannot be reached, the office of the Dean of the School should be notified (for evening classes, the office of the Division of Continuing Education and Evening Studies should be contacted to facilitate liaison with the department). In all cases of faculty absence, the chairperson is required to complete the "Notice of Faculty Absence" form. Except in the case of illness (see Sick Leave) or other reasons as approved by the Dean of the School a prorated deduction in pay is made for absence by a full-time faculty member (or an adjunct who has completed two or more years of service). The exception made for illness does not apply to adjunct faculty with less than two years of service. Notification of absence should be made as early as possible in order to facilitate arrangements for a faculty substitute. Teaching Loads The full-time faculty member accepts responsibility for a primary and overriding commitment to the University and its students. The professional nature of a University teaching position requires a good deal of non-teaching time including time used for intellectual activities, research, committee participation and consultation with students. These professional uses of the teacher's time have particular significance for a Pace faculty member because of the University's dedication to effective teaching and personal concern for the student. Such dedication and concern are not measured in days or hours but in student response, teaching success and institutional progress. The teaching requirement must first be fulfilled in the department and School to which the faculty member has been assigned. With the approval of the Dean(s) of the School(s) involved, a faculty member may teach a portion of the total teaching load in another department or School of the University. In calculating hourly teaching loads for full-time faculty members graduate courses are weighted on a 4 to 3 basis compared with undergraduate courses. It is assumed that all faculty shall teach a minimum of twenty-four hours annually during the Fall and Spring semesters, except where a reduced teaching load has been authorized by contract. Thus a faculty member teaching 18 hours of graduate courses or twenty-four hours of undergraduate courses will meet this requirement. Overage compensation for all courses is on an one-for-one basis (see "Overages - Extra Teaching Assignments" below).

II.10 Adjunct faculty normally should not carry in excess of six credit hours per semester. All full-time faculty are required to maintain a minimum of five office hours per week during each semester. Overages - Extra Teaching Assignments Faculty may not normally carry extra hours of teaching above the basic load during the academic year. In order to meet special circumstances, however, the Dean may authorize overages normally not to exceed six hours for the academic year. Normally, the maximum number of contact hours assigned to faculty members during summer sessions and the contiguous mini-sessions shall not exceed eight. Any assignment beyond this amount requires the written approval of the Provost. Compensation for Faculty for Independent Study and Tutorials Faculty direction of students undertaking Independent Study or for instruction of classes designated as tutorials is compensated at the rate of 1/10 credit hours per student per credit. (The catalogs of the University should be consulted for a description of regulations governing Independent Study and Tutorials.) Compensation Policy: Combined Graduate and Undergraduate Teaching Assignments In the case of those faculty teaching a combination of graduate and undergraduate courses the graduate courses shall be counted first in determining the teaching load. Thus a faculty member teaching three three-hour graduate courses and four three-hour undergraduate courses will meet the required load. In calculating overage the same procedure shall be followed, that is, graduate hours shall be counted first. Thus a faculty member teaching two three-hour graduate courses and six three-hour undergraduate courses shall be eligible for two hours of overage compensation while a faculty member teaching four three-hour undergraduate and four three-hour graduate courses shall be eligible for four hours of overage compensation. All teaching load credit beyond the required twenty-four hours per year is calculated on an one-for-one basis. Thus a faculty member teaching seven three-hour graduate courses and one three-hour undergraduate course shall be eligible for six hours of overage compensation (the first six graduate courses complete the full-time teaching load and the last graduate course and one undergraduate course represent overage on a one-for-one basis). Aid to Faculty With Large Classes Aid to faculty for classes of 40 or more may be provided in two forms on a basis judged in advance by the chairperson and Dean to be reasonable for the

II.11 actual number of students and character of assignments. The number of students in each class will be determined on the basis of the roster issued after late registrations, transfers, withdrawals and other adjustments have been made. The roster is usually sent to faculty members in the third week of class. The chairperson will also take into consideration the total number of students taught by the faculty member that semester. Where graduate assistants, student aides or other competent help are available, assistance to alleviate the grading burden will be provided; otherwise, compensation for highly qualified graders approved by the Dean from outside the University will be authorized. In the latter case, bills will be submitted directly to the chairperson for approval and forwarded to the Dean. Budgeting for such costs and authorization for student assistance or compensation will be the Dean's responsibility. Designated Lecture Sections With the approval of the Dean of the School, some sections each term may be designated by the Department Chairperson as large lecture sections. Such classes will be appropriate to the lecture technique and the faculty assigned should be skilled as large group lecturers. Faculty assigned to teach a designated lecture of 60-90 students will receive teaching load credit equal to the course credit hours plus a stipend equal to his/her overage rate times the course credit hours; for such a section with over 90 students, the faculty member will be credited with a teaching load equal to the course credit hours plus twice the overage rate times the course credit hours. With the approval of the Dean of the School, faculty teaching designated lecture sections may have such assignments credited to their teaching load requirement rather than receive an overage stipend. Thus, for example, a three-credit hour designated lecture section with 60-90 students will count as 6 hours toward the teaching load. Introduction of New Courses Requests for new courses may be submitted by individual faculty members and require the recommendation of the chairperson and Dean and, in addition to other approvals as may be required, approval by the Council of Academic Deans. Petitions requesting new courses may also be submitted by students. Courses cannot be put into the class schedule unless they are approved by the Council of Academic Deans. Academic Advising Faculty members are expected to advise students who are seeking help in planning their course of study. One important aspect of the faculty member's relationship to students is contained in the role of advisor on academic and vocational concerns. Each full-time faculty member is required to maintain a schedule of five weekly office hours and to indicate to students availability during these times.

11.12 A variety of staff offices are available to augment faculty advising (see p. 1.15). Academic guidance may also be obtained from the academic department offices, the Deans' offices, the Division of Continuing Education and Evening Studies, and from the Graduate Office of Student Affairs and Advisement on the New York and Westchester Campuses. The advisory relationship between faculty and student determines in large measure the extent to which a student is able to take maximum advantage of the available educational opportunities. In its effects on the attitude and accomplishments of individual students the quality of academic advisement offered by the faculty has a subtle but significant influence on the intellectual atmosphere of the University as a whole. Policy on Confidentiality of Student Records No information from a student's records concerning academic, disciplinary, counseling, psychological testing, financial, family, or social affairs, or group affiliations shall be disclosed to non-University personnel without the consent of the student except pursuant to lawful subpoena or court order. Faculty members who are asked for letters of recommendation should have a student sign a form indicating whether he or she does, or does not, waive his or her right to have access to the contents of the letter. Under the Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 students have the right to view all records in their file unless a waiver has been submitted. The appropriate waiver forms may be obtained from departmental chairpersons or from the Deans. The form should be completed in duplicate, one copy to be sent to the receiving institution (or person), and the other kept with the copy of the letter at Pace University. Scholarly Research Scholarly Research funds at Pace University are provided to full-time faculty in order to support research leading to publication in recognized journals or formal presentation of scholarly papers and publication of scholarly books. Funds are not provided to support theses or dissertations. Projects are evaluated and given priority according to scholarly significance, possibility of publication, results of past awards, originality, budget feasibility, and likelihood of enhancing the academic reputation of the University. (Note: support for other means of faculty development is available through the Kenan Fund; applications for such funds should be directed to the campus or school Kenan committees.) Preference is given to projects for which publication is assured or presentation is scheduled. Five committees on scholarly research have been established (New York, Pleasantville/ Briarcliff, White Plains, Graduate Business, Law School) to review individual faculty applications. The committees meet each Fall and Spring semester between the fifth and seventh week to consider applications. Applicants are thus requested to return their completed applications, with

11.13 endorsement where necessary, before the fifth week in the semester prior to the semester in which assistance is requested. The chairpersons of the Scholarly Research Committees meet as a University-wide Committee which deals with matters of policy, budgets the funds available for allocation and reviews any projects whose appropriateness is in doubt. Applications may be obtained from the scholarly research committees, or from the Office of the Provost. Applications for Spring requests should be submitted by October 15 of the previous year. Applications for the Fall semester should be submitted by the first week in March. It is advisable for faculty members to discuss their plans for research projects and their needs concerning type of sponsorship desired with the chairperson and Dean. The Office of the Provost will notify the faculty member whether an award has been granted. Two types of grants are awarded: direct monetary assistance and reductions in teaching load. Faculty may apply for one or both types. Direct grants are made to cover research-related expenses such as costs for computer time, personnel, photocopies and microfilm, typing of manuscripts, supplies, postage, equipment and travel to special libraries or other sources of information. Grants are made for 'a specific fiscal year and expended funds may not be carried over from one year to the next. Reduced teaching loads are limited to the Fall and Spring semesters and are generally limited to one course (three hours) per individual per semester. Such awards shall be made when it is clear that an applicant's project is of major significance. Reduced time will not be awarded in a semester in which the applicant has overage. Progress reports are required of all recipients of either funds or reduced time each semester. Monetary grants will be processed as follows: If the grant involves a one-time payment, this should be indicated on the application form, and an invoice must be attached to the application. The Comptroller's Office will then issue a check directly to the faculty member. If the grant involves setting up a budget account, this should be indicated on the application also. The Comptroller's Office will contact the faculty member directly concerning procedures for drawing upon the account. The faculty member will be required to submit invoices for all expenditures when requesting payment. Funds should be exhausted by the end of the fiscal year in which they are granted. Assistance to faculty members in securing outside support from government agencies, foundations and private corporations is provided by the Development Office. Summer Research Grants Funds are normally available for summer research grants for faculty who qualify.

11.14 Faculty interested in receiving a grant should forward their request to the Office of the Provost once the program for the year is announced. Proposals should briefly describe the nature of the research to include objectives, methodology, likelihood of publication and budget. Faculty receiving such an award may not accept teaching assignments at any other college or university during the summer period. Load reductions during the Fall and Spring semesters will not be supported through this program. Support will not be provided for doctoral dissertation research. The faculty member's request must cite the extent of support of funds from other sources, both internal to Pace and external. Proposals will be judged by the Academic Deans Council on the recommendation of the appropriate department and Dean, on the basis of the likelihood that the research effort will lead to publication and enhance the scholarly reputation of the individual, department, School and University. A report on the use of the award is required. Grants Policy Faculty are encouraged to develop proposals and seek outside sponsors for research, special projects, curriculum development, training programs, fellowships, conferences and other activities not covered by department or university budgets and which would advance the individual's teaching and research capabilities or the University's offerings. The Development Office will assist in finding appropriate funding sources to which an application may be submitted (see Sec. I). A request form for this purpose may be obtained from the Director of Sponsored Project Funding. Before a proposal or funding application is submitted it must be reviewed and approved by the department head, Dean, Director of Sponsored Project Funding, Financial Vice President, or Comptroller, or the Provost. A Grants Coordination and Approval Checklist form must be obtained from the Office of Sponsored Project Funding completed by the Principal Investigator/Program Director and returned to that office at least one week in advance of the submission deadline so that there is adequate time for review by all parties and revision if necessary. This procedure is to be followed for all proposals submitted to government or private sources on behalf of the University and/or any of its units or by individual faculty members.

11.15 Participation in Conferences and Conventions The University maintains a policy of encouraging faculty travel to educational and professional conferences and conventions. Funds for this purpose are normally provided in the budgets of the various schools and through special funds such as the Kenan Fund for Faculty Development. Subject to available funds, all or part of the expenses incurred will be assumed for faculty who deliver a paper or participate as panel members at such meetings. In some cases, costs incurred for general attendance by faculty may also be assumed. In all cases, endorsement by the appropriate chairperson and approval by the Dean of the school are required. Whenever faculty members attend association meetings, a report to the faculty is expected of the member or group present. In addition, a formal report should be filed with the respective Dean of the School. Kenan Fund The earned income from a grant of $300,000 donated by the William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust may be used for the purpose of faculty development. Since the income is a function of the actual rates of return on the fund's investments the amount available for faculty development will vary each year. The Office of the Comptroller will provide the Provost with an estimate of expected income at the beginning of each academic year. Unused funds are carried over from year to year. The University Kenan Committee has determined that the income (less an annual expenditure for administrative costs) will be used for the following purposes:

• Kenan Awards for Teaching Excellence; • Post-doctoral courses, particularly those which would enhance the effectiveness of faculty in the classroom; • Travel to conventions and professional meetings above and beyond school budgets; • Texts, materials, and/or reduced teaching time for course and curriculum development; and • Workshops, seminars and special courses for faculty development.

Processing of Applications. Faculty members requesting support from this fund must complete the official application form. After approval by chairpersons and Deans the application is submitted to the chairperson of the local Kenan Committee. There are five such committees in the University: Lubin Graduate School of Business; School of Law; New York; Pleasantville /Briarcliff; and White Plains. Approval forms are then submitted to the Office of the Provost. That Office will also notify faculty members of their awards and request checks as needed. The faculty member is required to provide documentation for his/her expenses before reimbursement can be made, although in some cases an advance may be authorized. Kenan Awards for Teaching Excellence. Each year the University selects faculty members whose teaching performance is considered to be exemplary as determined by their peers to receive the Kenan Award for Teaching Excellence. It honors the faculty members of rare competence who meet the following criteria:

11.16

• Unusual effectiveness in classroom performance; • Evidence of an outstanding degree of student understanding and concern; • Demonstrated high standards of intellectual interest; and • A continuing source of inspiration to their colleagues.

Nominations are invited from faculty, students and administrators. A committee appointed by each Faculty Council reviews the nominations and submits its selections to the Chancellor. The awards are normally announced at Commencement. Leaves Before commencing any leave, faculty should consult the Personnel Office regarding the conditions governing their benefits during the leave period. Sabbatical Leaves of Absence. The major purpose of sabbatical leaves is to provide opportunities for the faculty's continued professional growth and intellectual achievement through study, research and writing. The number of sabbatical leaves granted during a given academic year depends upon the availability of funds as well as the ability of the school and/or department to maintain its teaching schedule. Sabbatical leaves will be granted only for clearly defined and well-advanced scholarly projects in the areas of research, writing and publication. The University's decision to grant a sabbatical leave will be based primarily on evidence that the faculty member's project will contribute to his or her professional standing and upon return to the University will enrich that individual's teaching and/or research capabilities. A faculty member who has completed seven or more years of full-time teaching at Pace who has not had a paid leave of absence during that time and who currently holds an appointment at the rank of professor, associate professor, or assistant professor is eligible to apply for a sabbatical leave. In addition, the faculty member must agree to return to the University for at least one academic year of full-time service immediately following completion of the leave. Faculty members granted sabbatical leaves may not accept a full-time teaching assignment at other institutions unless such an assignment is considered essential to the scholarly project. Work towards a graduate or professional degree does not qualify as an acceptable project for a sabbatical leave except for post-doctoral or equivalent study. The rate of compensation shall be full base pay for one semester leave or half base pay for a one-year leave. If a faculty member on leave receives compensation or a financial grant from an off-campus source, beyond base salary and additional costs the sabbatical leave compensation from the University may be adjusted in accordance with the amount received from other sources. All fringe benefits to which a faculty member is entitled shall be continued while the faculty member is on a sabbatical leave. The University will continue its contributions to an employee's benefits program on the basis of the salary the

11.17

employee would have received if the employee were not on sabbatical provided the employee also continues personal contributions at the rates specified for employees. If a faculty member is paying for additional life insurance or family health coverage such benefits may be continued provided the faculty member pays all premiums in advance. A period of at least seven years shall elapse between the end of one sabbatical leave and the beginning of another. Applications shall be made to departmental chairpersons not later than December 1 for sabbatical leave to be taken in the following year. Applications shall be reviewed by the Council of Academic Deans and authorized by the Chancellor. Sick Leave. After an absence of five days due to illness, formal application for sick leave is required. Full-time Faculty: A full-time faculty member who has completed less than one year of full-time teaching and is disabled, i.e. unable to fulfill his or her teaching responsibilities, is entitled to full payment of base salary for the first two months and one-half of the base salary for the subsequent four months. A full-time faculty member who has completed more than one year of full-time teaching and is disabled, i.e. unable to fulfill his or her teaching responsibilities, is entitled to full payment of base salary up to six months, after which protection by' long-term disability insurance is provided (see p. 11.27). A full-time faculty member who is scheduled for overage teaching during the regular semester or who is given a summer teaching assignment and is unable to begin his or her teaching responsibilities because of disability is entitled to full payment of the overage or summer salary for a period of up to two weeks. A faculty member who has become ill should submit sufficient medical evidence to document the need for medical leave of absence in order to ensure eligibility for disability insurance coverage. A full-time faculty member who is assigned to teach special courses which are scheduled for a period of ten days or less, e.g. interim session, and who is disabled, i.e. unable to fulfill his or her teaching responsibilities, may be compensated for a period of absence upon recommendation of the Dean. Adjunct Faculty: In the case of adjunct faculty members who have been associated with the University less than two years deduction in pay is made for all absences from class. Adjunct faculty members who have completed two or more years of service at Pace are entitled to up to two weeks of class absence due to illness with no deduction in pay. Notification of absence should be made as early as possible in order to facilitate arrangements for a faculty substitute. Persons on sick leave or long-term disability continue to receive all fringe benefits to which they would normally be entitled. Maternity Leave. See p. II.22 for information.

II.18 Leave of Absence. A leave of absence without salary for a period not to exceed one year may be granted to full-time and adjunct faculty members. Requests for leave shall be in writing and require the approval of the Council of Academic Deans. Leaves may be granted for either personal or Pace-related (e.g. educational) reasons. Health and life insurance benefits may be continued during a leave of absence but the faculty member is responsible for paying in advance all premiums for this period. Faculty may also continue to contribute to the TIAA/CREF retirement plan although the University does not contribute when a faculty member is on unpaid leave of absence. Tuition remission benefits are not available to faculty on leave of absence for personal reasons. If the full-time faculty member takes a leave of absence for an approved professional pursuit, as determined by the Council of Academic Deans, such leave will be considered service toward tenure and promotion. Leave for Doctoral Study Completion. A leave of absence of one semester or one year for doctoral study completion may be granted by the Chancellor on the recommendation of the appropriate chairperson, Dean, the Provost, and the Academic Deans Council under the following conditions:

1. The faculty member must have completed at least two years of fulltime teaching at Pace University in order to be considered for such a leave;

2. The likelihood that such a leave will lead to doctoral program completion within one year should be established

on the basis of a doctoral degree progress report from the degree awarding institution;

3. The faculty member's contribution to the department and the University and his or her future value to the department pending degree completion should be documented. In the case of non-tenured faculty such faculty must have received a positive tenure recommendation (pending timely completion of the doctoral degree) from the Council of Deans and Faculty on Promotion and Tenure;

4. The individual must devote full-time to the completion of the degree;

5. Financial support when made available during such leave may not exceed one-half year's regular base salary.

Such support is offered as a loan which will be forgiven when the individual returns to the University for a period of two years (see #8 below);

6. Time spent on such leave does not count toward tenure or promotion;

7. Health and retirement benefits will be maintained during the leave. Tuition benefits for the individual and his or

her dependents will be maintained; and

11.19

8. The individual taking advantage of this leave must agree to return to the University for at least two years after the leave or reimburse the University for all financial support and benefits received during the leave.

Applications are available from the Office of the Provost. Conduct on Campus See Appendix 7. Retirement Retirement at age 70 is mandatory. The contract year, i.e. September 1-August 31, during which a faculty member reaches his or her 70th birthday shall be considered the final year of teaching before the faculty member must retire. Six months before reaching age 65 the faculty member should visit the Personnel Office on his or her campus to discuss benefits which will become available at age 65. Information on such benefits is described in the benefits section of this Handbook. Professor Emeritus-in-Residence Faculty members who wish to continue on a non-tenured basis beyond the mandatory retirement age may apply for the rank of Professor Emeritus-in-Residence. Such individuals shall be compensated for a teaching assignment up to, but not exceeding, one-half of a full-time load prorated on the basis of the salary paid during the last year of full-time teaching. This amount shall remain fixed thereafter. A faculty member may also voluntarily choose the Professor Emeritus-in-Residence rank at any time beginning at age 65, or, where the faculty member has been at the University for at least ten years, at age 60. Normal salary increments shall be available on a prorated basis up to age 70. A faculty member who has entered into Professor Emeritus-in-Residence status before age 70 and who continues to teach beyond age 70 will receive no further salary increments. A faculty member who enters into Professor Emeritus-in-Residence rank before age 70 may voluntarily begin to draw upon pension and at the same time receive from the University an amount equal to what would have been contributed toward the faculty member's TIAA pension for details of the pension plan). The University's contribution shall be computed at the percentage level attained by the last full-time base salary but shall also be prorated. A physical examination may be required at the time of first appointment to the rank of Professor Emeritus-in-Residence. Thereafter additional examinations may be required before renewal if deemed necessary by the Chancellor.

11.20 Applications for appointments to Professor Emeritus-in-Residence rank must be submitted prior to January 31 in the calendar year in which the appointment is to be made. Appointments and renewals may be granted for renewable terms of up to two years only after such applications are processed through normal channels including approval by the Board of Trustees. Affirmative Action Policy Introduction. Over the years Pace University has followed a policy which has sought to provide full opportunity for all members of the faculty and staff based upon ability and without regard to race, color, religion, sex, family relationship, age, handicap, or national origin. The Affirmative Action Policy now articulated for the University formalizes that policy to make certain that it is uniformly communicated to the growing number of people whose lives are tied so closely to that of the University. A policy statement of this kind is of necessity an instrument subject to change. It represents our best effort to delineate both the policy and the philosophy of the University in its relationship to faculty, students and staff. Purpose. This policy is adopted by Pace University pursuant to its commitment to the principles of equal opportunity for all minorities and women which specifically pledge the University to a policy of non-discrimination against any person in employment or in any of its programs because of race, color, religion, sex, family relationship, age, handicap or national origin. Dissemination of Policy.

A. The policy of affirmative action and equal opportunity shall be communicated to all persons affected by the policy and those agencies whose authority and responsibility may relate to University functions. The University's statement of commitment will be posted in public places in the University and distributed by means of official University publications.

B. A copy of the full Affirmative Action Policy is given to new and current employees of the University to insure

that they understand the nature of the policy and are familiar with its requirements. Employment Practice.

A. Recruiting. The University will make a deliberate and sustained effort to find, hire and promote minority and women faculty, staff and other employees. To this end the following procedures and practices shall be followed:

1. In developing job descriptions special attention will be given to requirements for experience, skill and

academic attainments to ensure that these requirements do not constitute inadvertent discrimination and are demonstrably appropriate and valid. Such descriptions will be distributed to all persons involved in the recruiting, screening and selection process;

11.21

2. The University will advertise all administrative and staff position vacancies throughout the University. Where appropriate the University will advertise position vacancies in appropriate professional journals and news media with special attention to those directed to minority and women's clientele. Advertisements will not express a sex preference except as a bona fide occupational qualification for the position;

3. The University through responsible officials will to the extent practical, notify appropriate local and

national minority and women's organizations, agencies and educational institutions of positions open apprising them of the Affirmative Action recruiting policy and soliciting applications;

4. All advertisements and other notices of position vacancies at Pace University (whether written or oral)

shall convey the fact that the University is an Equal Opportunity Employer;

5. Good faith and best efforts will be exercised to assure that University search committees will include men, women and minority members; and

6. Qualified persons will be considered for recruitment regardless of geographical location, marital status,

family relationship or number of dependents. Pregnancy or possible pregnancy shall not preclude the consideration of women for employment, admission, financial assistance or any other program provided by the University.

B. Responsibility for ensuring affirmative recruiting. This responsibility shall rest with the Affirmative Action Officer of the University.

Compensation and Salary. Salaries and fringe benefits of minority and women employees shall be equitable and comparable to those male employees with similar qualifications in similar positions. To correct any existing inequities and to prevent inequities in the future the following review practices shall be followed:

1. The Chancellor shall require through appropriate officers of the University periodic review of salaries of minorities and women in comparison with those of other persons of comparable attainments, experience and quality of performance;

2. These officers shall report their findings to the Chancellor each October 1 and each April 1;

3. If inequities are found to exist the Chancellor shall incorporate in the next annual budget such adjustments

as are necessary to correct these inequities; and

11.22

4. Since employment benefits comprise a substantial portion of compensation it shall be the University's objective that all fringe benefits be available in accordance with established policy to all employees within a specific category, on an equitable basis and without discrimination.

Maternity Leave. Maternity leave shall be considered as falling within the category of leave for temporary physical disability. A woman shall receive paid maternity leave -- subject to verification of need for such leave by a physician -- for a period determined in accordance with medical needs before and/or after childbirth or miscarriage. All benefits, including the accumulation of time towards promotion in rank or tenure, shall continue during this temporary leave. A child-care leave of absence beyond maternity leave of one or two semesters without salary shall be granted to full-time faculty upon request filed with the appropriate Dean at least two months before the affected semester. Accumulation of time toward tenure or promotion in rank shall be suspended during such period of leave. Benefits may be continued by payment of the premiums for the benefits selected. A full-time faculty member who may wish to return to a teaching assignment after a maternity leave without taking additional leave of absence may choose to teach half-time for one or two semesters and half-time salary. During such a half-time appointment all fringe benefits applicable to full-time employment will remain unchanged except those which are provided as a percentage of salary. No loss in time accumulation toward tenure or promotion in rank will be incurred. The obligation to maintain office hours, attend necessary meetings and in general perform all tasks necessary to carry out a half-time assignment in a responsible manner will remain in effect during such an appointment. Nepotism. Although it is recognized that University policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of family relationship insofar as the appointment of faculty is concerned this policy is hereby further defined to establish the following nepotism policy for the entire University.

1. The best-qualified persons will be recruited for all positions in the University regardless of family relationship.

2. No University employee shall participate in institutional decisions involving the initial appointment or subsequent personnel decisions affecting the status of a relative. Alternative procedures for making such institutional decisions shall be developed to assure consideration based solely on merit. A direct supervisory relationship will not be permitted between members of the same family.

3. Family relationships shall not be used as a basis for denying rights, privileges or benefits or regular appointment

or regular job status.

11.23 Reappointment, Tenure and Promotion. The University pursues a policy on reappointment, promotion and tenure (where it applies) which is intended to ensure that discrimination against minorities and women does not exist. The University seeks to increase the number of minorities and women in all positions within the institution. The University will evaluate the employment status of women and minorities on a continuous basis to determine where inequities exist and to provide for their correction where indicated. Good faith and best efforts will be exercised to assure that committees having jurisdiction in matters of reappointment, promotion and tenure will include representation of minorities, men and women. The Pace University Affirmative Action Committee. To institute and guarantee the effective application of the Affirmative Action Policy the Chancellor will upon approval of the program by the Board of Trustees provide for the permanent establishment of a Pace University Affirmative Action Committee composed of ten members chosen for their concern for effective and equitable human relations for and among all members of the Pace University community. The committee will be composed of four faculty members, three staff members with at least one member of the professional staff, two students and the University Director of Personnel Services, an Affirmative Action Officer appointed by the Chancellor. All members of the Committee other than the University Director of Personnel Services shall be designated by the Executive Committee of Pace University Senate who shall seek to assure adequate representation of women and minority group members. The Chairman of the Committee will be appointed by the Chancellor following selection of all members. Membership shall continue until successors are appointed. In applying this procedure care will be taken to assure that the desired representation of women and minority members is not disturbed. The committee shall periodically review the progress of Affirmative Action efforts and formulate priorities on issues relating to minorities and women.

B. FACULTY BENEFITS Full-time faculty members are eligible for various insurance plans either at their own or the University's cost. All enrollments must be completed within the first 30 days of employment for health, life and disability insurance since failure to meet this deadline may result in rejection of coverage by the insurance company involved. The presentation in this Handbook is only a general explanation and is not meant to offer interpretations of insurance policies. For additional information refer to plan brochures or policy certificates which will be issued shortly after enrollment. Any question referring to a specific case will be governed by the group policy then in force. Information regarding procedures for filing for employee benefits may be obtained from your campus Personnel Office. Faculty members must arrange an individual appointment with a staff member of the Personnel Office on their campus in order to discuss their individual benefit package and complete all required forms. All benefit plans are reviewed periodically by the administration and the appropriate faculty committees. Other benefits which are provided as a matter of law appear in Appendix 8.

11.24 Group Life Insurance The John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company underwrites the Pace Group Life Insurance policies. Full-time Faculty:

1. Non-Contributory: Each full-time faculty member is eligible for University-paid group life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance equal to the yearly base salary. Each faculty member must enroll for this insurance within the first 30 days of employment. This non-contributory insurance is in effect throughout employment at Pace and increases if salary has increased on September I of each year.

Upon retirement basic coverage decreases according to this schedule: 10% decrease on the July I following the last day of actual employment prior to retirement with annual decreases of 10% until 40% of the amount of insurance in force prior to retirement or $2,500, (whichever is greater) is reached. This reduced amount continues in force during the lifetime of the retired employee.

2. Contributory: Additional group life insurance equal to one or two times a faculty member's annual salary is

available at employee expense through payroll deductions. The amount of this life insurance also increases with annual salary increments. A faculty member may apply for this additional insurance at any time within the first 30 days of employment without having to produce evidence of insurability.

If the application is made after this period, the life insurance carrier requires a statement of health before approving the application. If the statement is unsatisfactory to the underwriters an applicant may be refused the additional coverage. It is therefore recommended that a faculty member enroll immediately if interested in extra coverage. Contributory insurance ceases when a faculty member retires.

3. Conversion Eligibility: If a faculty member leaves the employ of the University, life insurance, non-contributory

and contributory, may be converted to a regular John Hancock policy without medical examination. Conversion eligibility ceases 30 days following termination. Forms may be obtained from your campus Personnel Office.

Adjunct Faculty:

1. Non-Contributory: Adjunct faculty are eligible upon application for non-contributory group life insurance after five annual (not necessarily consecutive) contracts, or 10 consecutive Fall/Spring semesters, according to the following schedule:

If family coverage is elected, the faculty member will pay the difference between the individual premium and the cost of the family premium. Children are covered until the end of the calendar year in which their 19th birthday occurs. The faculty member must notify the appropriate campus Personnel Department prior to the end of the year in which the child reaches 19. If the child is a full-time college student, single and dependent upon the parent for support, then coverage continues until the end of the 23rd calendar year. All full-time faculty members are eligible for this coverage, and should enroll within the first 30 days of employment. Coverage will become effective as of the first day of the month following the date of employment. Summary of Blue Cross/Blue Shield Basic Plan Benefits: The basic plan offered at Pace provides:

For further details and/or revisions on the plan consult your Blue Cross/Blue Shield descriptive brochure available in your campus Personnel Office. Blue Cross/Blue Shield Major Medical Insurance This plan is offered as a supplement to the basic Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage and is designed to provide financial protection when the basic plan does not cover all eligible hospital, medical and surgical expenses. Benefits are paid after a $100 deductible per person per calendar year with a $300 maximum family deduction. Blue Cross/Blue Shield Major Medical will reimburse a faculty member 80% of usual, customary and reasonable charges on covered medical expenses up to $2,500, and pay 100% thereafter up to a lifetime maximum of $1,000,000. Campus Personnel Departments have special Pace claim forms and filing instructions available for your use. A faculty member may enroll for dependent insurance at any time within the first 30 days of employment. After this period application may be made at any time but satisfactory evidence of insurability for dependents must be submitted. If application is filed after the initial eligibility period, Blue Cross/Blue Shield Major Medical reserves the right to refuse coverage to anyone considered a poor risk. Summary of benefits:

1. Physicians' charges for diagnosis, treatment and surgery in or out of a hospital;

2. Registered nurses' fees for services in or out of a hospital;

Benefits are paid directly to the employee. For further details and/or revisions on the plan consult your Blue Cross/Blue Shield descriptive brochure available in your campus Personnel Department. Health Maintenance Organizations In lieu of Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Major Medical coverage full-time faculty depending upon where they work or live have the opportunity to choose one of the approved Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) as medical coverage for themselves and/or their dependents. The University will pay an amount equivalent to the cost of Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Basic & Major Medical insurance toward the cost of the HMO coverage. The faculty member must pay the remaining cost, if any. Coverage will become effective on the first of the month following the date of employment. Information concerning exactly what is covered by the different HMOs may be obtained from the Personnel Office. Long-Term Total Disability Insurance After completion of one year of service at Pace full-time faculty members are protected, in case of total disability by TIAA insurance coverage through the University. This salary continuation insurance provides a steady income in the event an employee is totally disabled and unable to work. TIAA defines total disability as inability by reasons of sickness or bodily injury to engage in any occupation for which the employee may be reasonably fitted by education, training or experience. It should be noted that the disability must be total but not necessarily permanent. The insurance coverage provides for 60% of covered monthly salary (not to exceed $3,000 monthly). If a member of the Pace Retirement Plan becomes totally disabled TIAA will pay both the minimum employee and University pension contributions up to age 65 or until the individual returns to full-time employment (whichever occurs first).

11.28 Total Disability Coverage terminates at retirement or age 70. For full-time faculty members whose total disabilities commence at, or prior to, age 60, benefits will be payable up to age 65. For full-time faculty members whose total disabilities commence after age 60 benefits will cease five years after the commencement of total disability or age 70 if it is sooner. The monthly income benefit provided by the TIAA Total Disability policy is reduced by the amount of Social Security benefits, Workers Compensation or other disability income benefits received. Personal Life Insurance Full-time and adjunct faculty members are eligible to purchase personal life insurance directly from TIAA. Further information can be obtained directly from TIAA in New York City. Bloodbank A bloodmobile from the American Red Cross visits campuses of the University in New York City, White 'Plains and Pleasantville/Briarcliff annually to receive blood donations on behalf of the University Bloodbank. In case of emergencies blood donors and members of their immediate families are able to receive blood for one year after the donation. If possible, the Bloodbank should be called in advance of use. It is important that the hospital involved be notified as soon as possible of this coverage. Tuition Benefits Program: Tuition Remission at Pace.

Pace University is a member of Tuition Exchange, a non-profit corporation chartered to promote and administer reciprocal tuition remissions for children of faculty and staff of educational institutions. The availability of these scholarships depends on Pace's ability to attract students from other member institutions. For information on the membership list and application procedures, contact the Tuition Exchange Officer. Children's Tuition Assistance Program A tuition assistance program has been established for dependent children of full-time faculty. The University will provide a grant of $250 per semester per child subject to a maximum payment of $500 per year per child. The grant is payable for undergraduate study at accredited colleges and universities other than Pace University. Dependent children already enrolled in the existing Tuition Exchange Program will not be eligible for this Tuition Assistance Program. The grants of $500 per child per year apply only to the Fall and Spring terms and are payable in two installments of $250 per term with a lifetime maximum of $2,000.

For further information on eligibility and application procedures, the Personnel Office on the appropriate campus should be contacted. Benefits at Age 65 Active full-time and Emeritus-in-Residence Faculty between the ages of 65-70 continue to receive the University's standard health insurance as their prime coverage until retirement or age 70, whichever is sooner. At least three months before age 65, a faculty member should. visit his local Social Security Office and apply for Medicare. There is no charge for Part A coverage. For an active faculty member the Medicare coverage is a supplement to the standard health plan provided by the University. At retirement, the faculty member should apply for Part B coverage (medical/surgical). Retirement At least six months before a faculty member is planning to retire he/she should make an appointment with the Personnel Office to discuss the benefits that are available to eligible retirees. At this time the faculty members will be advised to contact the Social Security Office to apply for retirement benefits.

11.32 Benefits for Retired Faculty A faculty member who has had 15 years of service and attains age 60, or 10 years of services and age 65, will quality for tuition remission benefits for self, spouse and dependents in retirement, as well as continuation of health insurance, reimbursement for Medicare Part B and life insurance in retirement. Note: 1) TIAA Total Disability Insurance Coverage terminates at retirement or age 70.

2) Life Insurance in retirement is equal to the final base salary of the faculty member. This amount will decrease by 10% on the July I following the last day of actual employment prior to the date of retirement. Subsequently this insurance will decrease by 10% each July I until 40% of the original amount is reached or $2,500 whichever is greater. Contributory life insurance ceases at retirement.

Retirement Plan Options Faculty members may participate in both the TIAA-CREF Tax as Deferred Annuity Plan (Regular Annuity and Supplemental Annuity which is cashable) or in certain instances in the T. Rowe Price Tax Sheltered Retirement Accounts. A. 1. Pace participates in the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association College Retirement Equities Fund

(TIAA-CREF) Retirement Plan as do many other colleges and universities. All full-time faculty are eligible to join the Pace Retirement Plan according to this schedule:

Age 21-25: Voluntary participation is possible with three or more years of service without a break in

service. Age 26-40: Voluntary participation is possible with one year of service. Age 40 or older: Immediate participation is possible.

2. Individuals who already belong to TIAA-CREF may transfer their policies immediately upon joining the University staff.

3. Contributions to TIAA-CREF are made by the University and by the individual employee. For individuals with fewer than ten years of service Pace contributes the equivalent of 5% of each faculty member's annual base salary. A faculty member's minimum contribution is 5% of annual salary. For those full-time faculty members in the employ of the University prior to January 1, 1980, the University's contribution will be 5% of the first $22,900 of annual base salary and 10% of the annual base salary above $22,900. If a full-time faculty member does not elect to participate in the University's retirement plan, he or she will become a member after ten (10) years of service. The University will contribute 10% of his or her base salary (the Personnel Office should be consulted for further details).

11.33 For faculty members with twenty or more years of service the University's contribution is 12% of the faculty member's annual base salary.

2. Once a year, a faculty member may change the total amount of his/her contribution to TIAA-CREF. Allocations to each fund may be changed at any time; the change takes about one month to become effective.

3. Since Pace University is a non-profit educational institution, the retirement plan is

tax-sheltered. When joining the Pace Retirement Plan a faculty member may choose salary reduction or salary deductions for the contributions. If a reduction is elected contributions will be taken out of the gross income before federal, state and city income taxes are levied. Income tax will be paid on this money when retirement income benefits begin to be received and the faculty member will most likely be in a lower tax bracket when full-time employment ceases. A faculty member may also elect to have the salary reduced by more than 5%. There is a limit to the amount of annuity contribution that a faculty member can make. For further information on maximum shelterable contributions, including Supplementary Retirement Annuities (SRA), the Personnel Office should be consulted. Not more than one agreement during any taxable year is permitted.

4. Accelerated contributions to purchase additional annuity benefits are not limited when

these amounts are treated as payroll deductions and are not exempt from taxable income. Income taxes are paid currently on these contributions and will be received as a tax-free portion of the annuity income during retirement. If a faculty member elects to defer recognition of his or her contribution for tax purposes the amount of the annual contribution is subject to certain restrictions (see paragraph number five). Participants in the retirement plan can allocate 100% of their total contribution to either TIAA or CREF, or divide it between TIAA and CREF.

5. If a faculty member leaves Pace and is not going to an organization which has a

TIAA-CREF retirement plan the annuity may be re-purchased if the faculty member has been in the University's Retirement Plan less than five years. All contributions, both the faculty member's and the University's would be returned to the faculty member directly. If the faculty member wishes, all the money including Pace's contributions may be left in TIAA, and upon retirement regular benefits would be received based on the total amount in the account including interest at the time. The faculty member may also make additional contributions to TIAA if no longer a member of the Pace Retirement Plan.

6. The mandatory retirement age at Pace is 70.

7. A retired faculty member collecting pension benefits who returns to full-time teaching at

Pace will be treated like a new employee for the purpose of determining additional Pace contributions.

8. The mandatory retirement age at Pace is 70.

9. A retired faculty member collecting pension benefits who returns to full-time teaching at

Pace will be treated like a new employee for the purpose of determining additional Pace contributions.

II.34 10. Retirement Benefits. Upon retirement at any age the participant shall be entitled under

the terms of his or her TIAA and CREF annuity contracts to receive a monthly or other periodic income under one of the options set forth in - such contracts. All options provide a lifetime-income for the participant and all except one also provide for income to a spouse or other beneficiary. Descriptions of the income options are contained in the booklet, Your Retirement Annuity. The University permits the use of the Retirement Transition Benefit described in Your Retirement Annuity.

A participant initiates procedures for receipt of retirement income benefits by writing directly to TIAA/CREF.

A participant between the ages of 65 and 70 may voluntarily begin to draw TIAA/CREF pension and at the same time receive from the University a prorated amount equal to what normally would have been contributed toward the participant's TIAA pension during said period. In such event neither the University nor the participant shall make any contribution to that pension.

B. T. Rowe Price Tax Sheltered Retirement Accounts

Faculty members may take advantage of investment options in nine. different funds through their voluntary contributions. However faculty who have participated in the TIAA-CREF retirement program on a comparable pension or annuity plan for 20 or more years may choose to direct the University's contribution to the T. Rowe Price funds. These funds offer a wide variety of investment objectives ranging from maximum safety of principal through investment in U.S. Treasury securities to aggressive growth of capital.

A detailed description of these funds is available in the Personnel Office and in the brochure Your Guide to Retirement Plan Options at Pace University. Credit Union Faculty and staff as well as members of their immediate families are eligible for membership in Academic Federal Credit Union, a cooperative thrift institution chartered by the National Credit

Union Administration (an agency of the Federal Government) and co-sponsored by Pace University on payment of a $5 membership fee. The Academic Federal Credit Union accepts deposits (both directly by check and by payroll deduction) on which interest is earned and makes loans to members. The main business office is located in the Pace University Village Center of the Pleasantville/Briarcliff campus. The Credit Union also maintains an office on the New York campus. For literature and information, the Personnel Office on the appropriate campus should be contacted.
