The commitment of the University to be of service to its students is nowhere more clearly exemplified than in the area of faculty/student interaction. Much of this takes place outside of the formal teaching setting. Faculty members are expected to keep regular office hours. These hours are to be listed in the course syllabus and posted in the department/school. Ten office hours per week, during the normal working day, are to be the minimal accepted standard.

The University places high priority upon teaching and the teaching function. It is assumed that full-time faculty members are on campus daily as a normal procedure. Any exception should be carefully worked out in advance with the college dean.
