Rule 8-B1402 - FACULTY RESPONSIBILITIES

1402.1

Because the faculty has a special position in the community, and the public judges the faculty's profession and the University by the acts of its members, the rights and freedoms set forth in § 1401 require that the primary professional responsibility of each faculty member shall be to the University.

1402.2

Each faculty member shall seek to maintain a professional atmosphere in which violations of academic freedom are unlikely to occur.

1402.3

The faculty as a whole shall assume the role of guardian of academic values against unjustified assault from others.

1402.4

Each faculty member shall be expected to do the following:

(a) Recognize that the University of the District of Columbia is an urban land grant, open admissions, public university committed primarily to teaching, research, and extension;

(b) Remain current in his or her academic discipline, and instruct assigned courses in a manner consistent with the scheduled time, course content, and course credit approved by the University;

(c) Complete all other teaching and academic assignments undertaken, or which are normal duties, in a responsible, professional, and timely manner, particularly professional evaluation;

(d) Recognize the academic freedom of students and avoid the coercion of belief; and

(e) Treat fairly, courteously, and professionally all students, colleagues, and other members of the University community.
