Academic Dismissal

Current policy is available at http://www.vpaa.villanova.edu/academicdismissal/

-- Main.nova - 14 Nov 2007 Is this really necessary in the Faculty handbook? It really has no relevance to faculty matters.

Audit Privileges at Other Institutions

Current Policy:

Villanova has a policy making it possible for faculty members to audit A&S courses at other institutions on a non-tuition basis, assuming that there is room in the class or seminar. The individual faculty member will be responsible for any fees for either registration or transcripts if such should be necessary. All courses are to be taken on an audit basis.

The following institutions are participating in the program: Cabrini College; Haverford College; Holy Family College; Immaculata College; LaSalle^? University; Rosemont College; Saint Joseph's University; Temple University; University of Pennsylvania; Villanova University.

Faculty members who are interested in the audit program should communicate with the office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

-- Main.nova - 14 Nov 2007

Awards Given to Faculty Members

Each year three awards may be given to faculty members who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to the University. The awards are:

• The Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Award for Outstanding Teaching, administered by the Committee on Faculty.
• The Lawrence C. Gallen, OSA, Faculty Service Award, administered by the Committee on Faculty.
• The Outstanding Faculty Research Award, administered by a committee of previous award recipients, which is chaired by the Dean of Graduate Studies of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

-- Main.nova - 14 Nov 2007 For a university that places such a high premium on teaching excellence, there should be more awards/recognition for outstanding teaching.

-- Main.faculty - 14 Feb 2008 Mention should therefore also be made of the new excellence in teaching awards for Adjunct Faculty, effective Spring 2008.

Brief History

For over a century and a half, Villanova University has been sponsored by the Order of St. Augustine, known as the Augustinians, one of the oldest religious teaching orders of the Catholic Church. The first American foundation of the order within the present limits of the United States was established in 1796 at old St. Augustine's Church in Philadelphia. Villanova University traces its lineage from this foundation and from St. Augustine's Academy, which was opened in Philadelphia in 1811.

In January 1842, the Philadelphia Augustinians took possession of "Belle Air," the country estate of the Revolutionary officer and merchant John Rudolph. In accordance with the old Catholic custom, the new foundation was placed under the patronage of a saintly hero of the past. As patron of the new Institution, the Augustinians chose St. Thomas of Villanova, a 16th century Spanish Bishop who was a distinguished Augustinian writer and educator. The school soon became known as Villanova and gave its name to the surrounding countryside.

Classes were opened in the old mansion house at Belle Air during the fall of 1843. On March 10, 1848, the Governor of Pennsylvania, Francis R. Shunk, signed the Act of the Legislature incorporating The Augustinian College of Villanova in the State of Pennsylvania and conferring on Villanova College the right to grant degrees in the Arts and Sciences.

The Liberal Arts College took its first step toward university status in 1905 with the establishment of what is now called the College of Engineering. The Science unit, inaugurated in 1915, is now an integral part of the present College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In 1918, what is presently known as Part-Time Studies came into being. The School of Business was founded in 1922, the College of Nursing in 1953, and the School of Law in 1953.

Villanova's development over the years into a complex institution of higher education received official sanction when, on November 10, 1953, pursuant to an act of the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, its charter was amended to permit it to be designated Villanova University.

Current Policy:

Class and laboratory attendance for first year students is mandatory. A first-year student will receive a grade of "Y" (failure) whenever the number of unexcused absences in a course exceeds twice the number of weekly class meetings for the course.

For students beyond the first year, attendance policies are determined by the instructors of the various courses. These regulations, which must be reasonable in attendance required and penalties imposed, must be listed in the course syllabus, filed with the department chair, and explained to the class involved at the beginning of each semester. Upperclass grades are to be assigned for academic reasons. Enforcement of such attendance policies lies with those instructors. Where possible, students should inform their instructors if they plan to be late or absent from class.

Excused absences for all students include the following: approved athletic participation or participation in approved academic events; official university business; approved field trips; certified serious illness; death in the immediate family; or approved placement activities. An absence card, available from the Office of the Dean of the student's college, must be completed and presented to the Dean with appropriate documentation. This should be done before the absence, if possible, but at any rate no later than 4:30 p.m. on the day the student returns to classes. Excused absences allow the student to make up tests and do not count toward a failure in the course for first year students. Absence from class does not release the student from work assigned.

The instructor is required, however, to take record and report attendance for all classes as directed by the Registrar.

COURSE AND CLASS REGULATIONS

If a professor arrives at a meeting more than 10 minutes late and after a student(s)has already left, the class should be cancelled. It is unfair to the students who left to hold the class. It puts them at a competitive disadvantage not of their fault. "Getting the notes" is not an adequate substitute for being in the class and hearing the lecture. This is all especially true in courses where students are evaluated in relation to their peers.

1. All courses are to be taught in accordance with guidelines established by the department and/or the dean of the college, as college policy may determine.
2. All class periods are to begin and close at the appointed time to permit students to be prompt in attendance.
3. If it is necessary for a faculty member to miss a class, s/he should inform the department chair so that other arrangements for the class may be made. Faculty members who wish to cancel a class must seek permission of their department chair. Faculty members should notify all students of a cancelled class by e-mail or voice mail, if possible.
4. If a faculty member is more than ten minutes late for class without a notice, the students may rightfully assume that the faculty member will be absent; students who leave may not be marked absent for that class, should it be conducted.
5. No student is to be admitted to any class who is not on the official class list. Faculty members need to be attentive to the class lists and report discrepancies to their chairs and/or the Registrar.
6. The instructor is required, however, to take record and report attendance for all classes as directed by the Registrar. (See Policy on Class Attendance.)

POLICY ON “PARTICIPATION IN GRADUATION”

“Each year there are a small number of students who have not fulfilled all of the requirements for graduation but who wish to participate in commencement exercises with their entering class. Students who have only three or fewer courses remaining to fulfill the requirements for graduation may participate in the graduation ceremony. Because of the number of required credit hours and sequential clinical requirements, Nursing students and students in combined joint degree programs with other universities may participate if they can reasonably be expected to complete all requirements by the end of August. The names of all such students throughout the University will not be included in the commencement program until the following May, after they have in fact been graduated.”

Approved at Council of Deans’ Meeting 5/10/04; effective date May, 2005 commencement; modified and reissued at Council of Deans’ Meeting 4/26/06; effective date May, 2006 commencement

add of relatives, close friends, or the family of close friends particularly the children.

Faculty members should avoid conflict of interest and potential conflict of interest situations, including the following:

• Faculty members who wish to take graduate or undergraduate courses for academic credit in their own departments must obtain permission from their college deans.
• A spouse or dependent of a faculty member may not take courses taught by that faculty member for credit. Where possible, faculty members should not be the teacher for credit of relatives or close friends; when it is not possible to avoid these situations the faculty member must inform the department chair that a potential conflict may exist.
• In cases where a faculty member’s spouse, child, or relative, comes before a committee on which that faculty member serves, the faculty member will recuse himself or herself from the decision making process in that case.

COURSEPACKS AND COPYRIGHTS

Faculty members are expected to follow the copyright laws in their teaching practice. Unless the "fair use" provision applies, as described below, faculty members are not permitted to distribute copyrighted materials for which copyright clearances have not been obtained, and faculty members should not require or suggest that students buy such materials. Faculty members may make limited use of portions of a copyrighted work (without the copyright owner’s permission) under the "fair use" provision of the copyright law (see below). The University Shop assists faculty members in the preparation of "coursepacks" or customized textbooks. The University Shop will obtain the appropriate copyright clearances from the copyright owners, arrange to have the coursepacks printed through Graphic Services, and include the costs of this process in the eventual sale price of the coursepack.

Faculty members may, if they choose, make up their own coursepacks and secure the copyright permissions themselves. These coursepacks should also be printed by Graphic Services and sold through the University Shop. Faculty members will be required to show appropriate evidence that copyright clearances have been obtained.

Coursepacks and other locally produced course materials should, with limited exceptions, be sold in the University shop. faculty members are not permitted to sell course materials directly to students, either in class or out of class. The department chair may, if he or she wishes, authorize the sale of course materials in the department office. See also: Sale of Teaching Materials Written by Faculty Members.

Fair Use is defined as follows in: Section 107 of Title 17, United States Code regarding Copyright Law:

107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106 and 106a, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phono records or by any other means specified by that section for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:

1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

2. the nature of the copyrighted work;

3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all of the above factors.

Faculty members should also consult Circular 21: Reproduction of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Librarians, which may be found at: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ21.pdf. Circular 21 provides minimum safe harbor guidelines for copying that safely falls within "fair use." Copying that goes beyond these guidelines may still constitute a fair use under U.S. Copyright laws.

To insure compliance with this code, the University's Department of Graphic Services requires that all requests for multiple copies sent to Graphic Services have a certification signed by the requester, certifying that appropriate laws have been complied with. Rubber stamps are invalid. Failure to comply will result in the return of the job for compliance. It should be noted that circumventing this requirement by use of an office copier in no way avoids compliance with copyright laws. Certification forms are available from the Copy Center. Questions concerning the application of the copyright laws in specific situations should be addressed to the Office of the Vice President and General Counsel. Further information can be found on General Counsel's website at http://www3.villanova.edu/ogc/teachact.html

DEPARTMENT CHAIRS

See the current policy at http://vpaa.villanova.edu/handbook/policies/DEPART_CHAIR_role.htm

-- Main.nova - 16 Nov 2007

VOTING IN DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS

The Policy on Rank and Tenure describes voting procedures and eligibility in cases of tenure and promotion, and the Protocol for Chair Selection describes such procedures for selection of chairs. For all other situations, departments will follow the policy below unless they have developed a different policy which has been approved by their college dean and disseminated to their department members:

Eligibility to Vote: In departmental meetings (excluding rank and tenure, annual/triannual evaluation, hiring, and chair selection, all of which are covered by other policies) all full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members may vote. Tenured/tenure-track faculty members who are serving as administrators (assistant/associate deans, assistant/associate vice-presidents, and program directors) may also vote. Full-time non tenure-track members who have completed at least two full academic years of continuous service may vote. Eligible faculty members who are on leave of absence or on sabbatical leave may vote if they wish to and if it is practical for them to do so, but they are under no obligation to participate in departmental governance while they are on leave. Faculty members who are not sufficiently prepared to make an informed judgment on an issue should not vote; individual faculty members must judge their preparation for themselves. deans and the vice president do not vote in departmental meetings.

Proxies in general departmental voting: In general departmental matters, faculty members who are otherwise eligible to vote may leave specific written proxies with the chair. General proxies, verbal proxies or proxies left with other faculty members are not acceptable.

Proxies in questions of hiring and annual/triannual evaluation. Proxies are acceptable in votes on hiring. In cases of annual and triannual evaluations faculty members may not leave proxies. Faculty members who are not present at these discussions may communicate their views to the chair, either verbally or in writing. The chairs may, if they wish, take these communications into account when the chairs formulate their own recommendations.

Disabilities, Students with

Villanova University strives to provide an environment for personal and intellectual growth of all its students, and also complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In order to meet these commitments, Villanova offers educational opportunities and appropriate academic accommodations for the needs of qualified students with disabilities. The standards for academic credit should not be modified for students with disabilities. Students with disabilities have fulfilled the same entrance requirements, have the same range of backgrounds and experiences as other students at Villanova, and should be fully capable of meeting Villanova's standards. The University's goal is to help them achieve those expectations.

Physical disabilities. Services for students with physical disabilities are provided by Multicultural Affairs (www.multiculturalaffairs.villanova.edu).

Other disabilities (including learning disabilities). Services for students with disabilities that impact on learning are provided by various offices and coordinated by Learning Support Services (LSS). Many students with these disabilities do not ask for accommodations at all. Other disabled students choose to self-identify and ask for appropriate accommodations. If students do want accommodations, they must complete a registration process with LSS. This process involves providing current documentation and meeting with the LSS Coordinator to discuss appropriate accommodations. Guidelines for acceptable documentation are available on the LSS webpage at www.learningsupportservices.villanova.edu. The Learning Support Services office will provide a letter to the professor identifying the student as having a disability and describing the necessary accommodations. LSS usually asks students to meet with their professors at the beginning of each semester to discuss all accommodations. Students who have not registered with LSS will sometimes approach professors to ask for accommodations. These students should be referred to LSS, so that appropriate accommodations can be worked out in conjunction with LSS. Professors should not make special accommodations for disabled students who have not registered with LSS.

All faculty members should announce on the first day of class the desire to speak confidentially with any student with special needs as soon as possible, and course syllabi should include a statement about students with disabilities. A sample statement might read:

It is the policy of Villanova to make reasonable academic accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities. If you are a person with a disability please contact me after class or during office hours and make arrangements to register with the Learning Support Office by contacting 610-519-5636 or at nancy.mott@villanova.edu as soon as possible. Registration is needed in order to receive accommodations.

The following are some basic guidelines for students with disabilities. LSS also publishes a Faculty Handbook which is available on the LSS webpage or by calling x95636.

* Support from faculty is critical to ensuring that students with disabilities receive accommodations necessary to reach their potential. It is important to remember that accommodations are not advantages, but are a means of providing each student with full access to Villanova's programs.

* Standards for academic credit should not be modified for students with disabilities. They may need accommodations in testing, but the content should not be changed. * It is not necessary to rewrite a course to accommodate students with disabilities; simply modifying the presentation of materials may make it fully accessible. * If one student with a particular type of disability had difficulty with a specific task, do not assume that the next student with the same type of disability will experience similar problems. * Some textbooks are also available in other formats -- such as computer disks, large print versions, e-books, or videos with closed captioning -- that may be more accessible for students with disabilities. If you are using a textbook that is available in these formats, please inform both LSS and disabled students who may benefit from them. * Students with disabilities are frequently sensitive about their disabilities, so faculty members should make every effort to treat these issues sensitively and confidentially.

Please visit the webpage www.learningsupportservices.villanova.edu or contact the LSS office with any questions or concerns at x95636.

DISCIPLINE

Proper classroom attire? I remember comments coming from the administration and faculty committees in years past that commenting on a women's attire could be a form of sexual harrassment. Do you want to be more specific with this example.

Because the fundamental goal of Villanova University is "the transmission, the pursuit, and the discovery of knowledge," the institution presumes that all who voluntarily join our scholarly community do so for this primary purpose. Accordingly, rules and regulations governing student conduct are designed with the specific purpose of enhancing the academic mission of the University. In particular, the student should become acquainted with and understand the responsibilities set forth in the Student Handbook, especially those in the sections on Policy and Regulations. Adherence to University regulations is expected and required for successful completion of the program of studies. Enforcement within the classroom of regulations regarding smoking, presence of food or drink (which are forbidden in classes), proper classroom attire, deportment, etc., is the responsibility of the faculty member. All other discipline problems are to be referred to the Dean of Students.

DEANS: PROTOCOL FOR THE EVALUATION OF ACADEMIC DEANS

See the current policy at http://vpaa.villanova.edu/handbook/policies/Deans-protocol.htm

-- Main.nova - 16 Nov 2007

FINAL EXAMINATIONS

24 hours seems too short, particualrly for a student who isvery sick, in the hospital owing to an auto accident,etc. how about 48 hours?

If final examinations are given, they must be given at the time and place scheduled by the Registrar unless exemption has been authorized by the chair and the dean. Final examinations should not be given during the last week of classes or on reading day. The schedule for examinations is available on the Registrar's home page early in the semester so that students should make their end-of-semester travel arrangements accordingly. Occasionally students will encounter conflicts in the examination schedule such that two of a student's examinations are scheduled at the same time or three examinations are scheduled on the same day. In the event of a conflict, the student must notify the instructor at least seven days in advance of the scheduled exam. The instructor will make alternative arrangements for the student to complete the examination. In resolving conflicts, multiple section exams should take precedence over exams for a single section, and courses in the major should take precedence over non-major courses. Extraordinary difficulties encountered in effecting such an arrangement will be resolved by the Dean of the student's college.

If a student is absent from a final examination for any reason other than a conflict, he or she must contact the instructor within 24 hours of the scheduled beginning of the examination to request permission from the instructor to take a make-up examination. The instructor may, if he or she wishes, arrange a make-up examination at a mutually convenient time. If the faculty member has reservations about the legitimacy of the student's reasons for missing the examination, the faculty member may refer the student to the office of the college dean, who will evaluate the students' request for a make-up. If the office of the dean approves the request, the faculty member will arrange a make-up examination for the student or assign other work in place of the final examination. If the student does not contact the faculty member within 24 hours, the student must receive permission from both the office of the dean and the faculty member before being allowed to take a make-up examination.

Faculty should attend the administration of the final examination in order to answer any questions and ensure high standards of academic integrity. When faculty are unable to do so, department chairs are to see that sufficient proctors are provided for each examination room. Where there is a shortage in any department, assistance should be requested from other departments.

Faculty must retain in their possession all final exams and other unclaimed exams, papers, and student course projects and materials for a period of twelve months following the end of the semester in which they were used to establish grades.

The faculty handbook is under review for revisions and updates

This site is a collection point for input from the faculty on areas that need attention in the current faculty handbook.

There are a few simple rules for participating in this process:

• Use the "Edit" link on any page to enter any text you wish.
• DO NOT remove text entered by others. Simply add your comments to what is there. You can insert comments after someone else's on a particular topic, or add a section of your own. I suggest that additions be made at the beginning, rather than the end of a page so that new entries are easy to see.
• You do not have to sign your name, but that does make it easier for people to respond to you. If you prefer to be anonymous you can. There is no way to trace the entry back to you. (Well, if someone really wanted to plow through the web logs and do some analysis, it might be possible to narrow it down to a small group, but it is not going to happen.)
• If you want to make a whole new page, just make an entry on the original page that has the form WordWord^?, where the Words are whatever you want. Two words not separated by a space generate a new page. It will appear at first as the words with a question mark at the end. You can then click on the question mark to get a whole new page to enter whatever you want. That might be a good way to do a suggested new text for a section, for example.
• Note that there is help for formatting at the bottom of each page. You do not have to do anything fancy, but if you want bulleted lists, or italics, or something, the instructions are there.

Hoping that this is a productive process for the review and revision of a very important document for all of us.

LANGUAGE USE: WRITTEN AND ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ON CAMPUS

All written and oral communications of administrators, faculty, staff, and students should be consistent with the University’s belief that all persons are sacred. Language used on campus should respect the dignity and inherent worth of every individual regardless of age, ethnic or racial identification, gender, mental or physical ability, religious persuasion, sexual orientation, and social class. To be encouraged is language which does not perpetuate stereotypes or unfairly characterize any individuals on the basis of group identification.
