About the Faculty Handbook

Note: The faculty handbook can now be found on MyDrury. 

The Faculty Handbook collects in one place the most important policies and procedures relating to the faculty. The Faculty Handbook, the university catalogs, and the staff handbook are the major documents on personnel policies and academic procedures for the university. The Drury University Faculty Handbook presents faculty personnel policies for faculty and librarians. It also includes information useful to all who work at the university about academic organization, faculty governance and important operating procedures. Faculty are expected to be familiar with the handbook and to support the procedures and policies outlined here.

The sections entitled “University Personnel Policies” and “Faculty Rights and Responsibilities” are a part of the contract for each faculty member. In the absence of specific guidelines to the contrary, the faculty meetings, committees and councils follow the procedures in Robert’s Rules of Order. At Drury University, we are committed to collegial governance which recognizes the essential role of the faculty in decisions.

The Faculty Handbook is revised through a shared process involving the faculty, the administration and the Board of Trustees. Revisions are usually initiated by presentation to the Faculty Affairs Committee. As the policies and procedures indicate, Drury has long had a commitment to the liberal arts and to excellence in education. The university values community and the opportunity to interact, both formally and informally, with students and faculty colleagues. When classes are in session, faculty are on campus for a substantial part of each class day. Faculty have regular office hours, meet their classes as scheduled and are available for committee meetings as well as departmental and collegiate governance activities. One of the distinctive characteristics of Drury University is the strong commitment to that shared collegiate community experience.

Procedure for Proposing New Courses and Programs or Revisions to Existing Courses and Programs:

Use the following forms to propose new courses and programs or revisions to existing courses and programs.  All proposals must be signed by the appropriate department chair and dean and, if applicable, the associate provost of Adult, Online, and Graduate Education before submission to the Academic Affairs Committee for their approval.  If approved by AAC, the proposal will go to the Registrar and Provost for final approval.

Faculty Policies


Credit Hour/Contact Time Policy

Drury’s policy is based on guidelines developed the Department of Higher Education
and is as follows:

A minimum of 2250 minutes of ‘contact time’ for 3 hours of credit is required. This
breaks down to 750 minutes of contact time per every 1 hour of credit given. Drury
aims for 2300 minutes of contact time per 3 hours of credit. Contact time is calculated
on a 15 week semester (we do not count Finals Week as contact time).

Lecture course:
15 weeks X 50 minutes X # hours of credit = contact time in minutes required

Example:
15 weeks X 50 minutes X 3 hours credit = 2,250 minutes contact time required

Studio or Lab (Double contact time of a Lecture course):
15 weeks X 100 minutes X # hours of credit = contact time in minutes required

Example:
15 weeks X 100 minutes X 3 hours credit = 4,500 minutes contact time required

Faculty Travel Policy

Drury University is committed to supporting our colleagues’ professional growth and development. Travel to conferences is one important element of that growth. The primary responsibility for the wise and appropriate selection of occasions for faculty travel falls to the individual faculty member and the department chair. Faculty are encouraged to present papers representing their scholarship at professional meetings, and they are encouraged to be in contact with professional organizations and associations representing their disciplines. Faculty are also encouraged to take an interest in professional associations which support the improvement of teaching and the general interests of higher education.

The University commits a significant amount of money for faculty travel. At the same time, the resources are limited, and it is the hope that money will be available for all those faculty who need to travel. It is for that reason that the following guidelines have been developed. It is only through a careful and judicious use of the faculty travel money that resources will be available for all of the faculty who wish to travel.

Availability of Funds: It will be the responsibility of the department chair to ascertain that sufficient funds are available before authorizing reimbursable travel expenses.

Approval for Travel: No individual will be reimbursed for travel expenses unless she/he has obtained prior approval from the department chair to incur such expense and has submitted the proper request for reimbursement in good order. Requests for reimbursement should include a general summary of the expenses, rationale for any extraordinary expenses, and itemized receipts for all expenses.

Travel Reimbursement for Expenses: The University has travel funds allocated to each faculty member in a department. These funds are for the purpose of providing assistance to faculty members who wish to attend professional meetings or travel on business of the University. The office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs can provide supplemental funds in special circumstances. The University is pleased to provide all or partial expenses for faculty travel, reimbursing appropriate items with complete itemized receipts. This includes cash and credit card expenses.

It is the general policy of the University to provide reimbursement for all reimbursable items when the faculty member is presenting a competitively selected paper at a professional conference in the United States. When a person is attending a conference, but not presenting a paper (including occasions when a person chairs a section but does not present a paper), the amount of reimbursement will depend upon the availability of funds. The University will provide as much support as possible for reimbursable items, but may not be able to provide full expenses. The faculty member should consult with the department chair regarding availability of departmental funds. Where departmental funds fall short in reimbursing a faculty member for travel to a conference where the faculty member is presenting a paper, the general University funds may provide a supplement to cover the expenses, and the department chair should apply to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for supplementary resources.

Faculty may use an available University credit card for travel expenses, but complete itemized receipts are required. Faculty members are expected to pay their expenses or put them on credit cards and submit receipts upon return to the University. The University will make every effort to prepare reimbursement checks as soon as possible following the receipt of a request from the faculty member in the appropriate form and with the receipts attached. In very unusual circumstances, it may be possible for a faculty member to receive an advance on travel expenses. The need should be discussed with the department chair who will make the determination regarding whether or not to authorize the advance from departmental travel funds.

International Travel: It is sometimes possible for the University to provide some assistance to faculty members for travel to international meetings. The University will be unable to reimburse those expenses fully, and the faculty member should consult with the department chair regarding the amount of funds that may be available. The department chair can seek supplementary assistance from the general University funds through the office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Reimbursable Items

Travel – Faculty members are expected to identify the most economical means of travel, taking into account the time involved. Ordinarily the University will reimburse for airline travel at the most inexpensive rate (normally coach). Tickets should be purchased early enough to benefit from 14-21 day advance purchase savings. Where staying over an extra day (often a Saturday night) will reduce the air fare significantly, the University will reimburse for hotel accommodations (assuming that the costs for hotel accommodations is significantly less than the savings in air fare). For faculty travel by private automobile, the current rate for reimbursement is $.41 per mile. Faculty should provide documentation reporting dates, destinations, and distance for the trip.

Transfers – Expenses to and from the airport are reimbursed within reasonable limits. Faculty members are encouraged to use public transportation or airport shuttle services rather than cabs when they are available. While there will be occasions when a cab or more expensive transportation is necessary, it is important to select the less expensive transportation when at all possible.

Parking – For faculty who drive to a destination, parking expenses are reimbursable. For faculty who fly, parking at the Springfield airport is a reimbursable expense, but faculty are expected to park in the long-term lot.

Car Rental – A car may be rented in situations where the cost is less than or equivalent to other means of transportation or when scheduled commitments require deviation from normal means of transportation. Prior approval from the department chair is required.

Hotel Accommodations – The University will cover hotel accommodations for the faculty member. The University does not cover hotel expense for companions or provide double accommodations unless it is two faculty members. Faculty members are expected to select the most reasonable accommodation available and convenient to conference location. Hotel accommodations will be covered only during the period of the meeting or conference unless, as previously mentioned, the faculty member stays over one extra night in order to save significant costs in air fare. An itemized statement furnished by the hotel is required for reimbursement of actual costs. Employees are encouraged to make advance registration and seek to secure available discounts.

Meals – The University will reimburse expenses for meals for faculty members who have been approved for travel. In general, faculty are encouraged to keep their per diem expenses for meals at less than $50. Itemized receipts are required for reimbursement for meal expenses.

Telephone Expenses – While faculty members are traveling, the University will cover telephone expenses directly related to University business.

Tips – Appropriate and modest tips are reimbursable.

Other Expenses – While faculty will incur other expenses related to traveling, they are not normally
reimbursable. Should there be an exceptional circumstance, faculty are encouraged to talk with the department chair for a judgment regarding whether or not a particular expense is reimbursable.

If there is a doubt about reimbursable expenses or travel policy, the faculty member should feel free to contact the department chair or Vice President for Academic Affairs.

University Intellectual Property Policy

Drury University is committed to providing an environment that supports the creation of intellectual property by faculty, staff, and students in the course of their research, teaching, and learning activities. As a matter of principle and practice, the University encourages all members of the Drury community to publish without restriction the outcome of these activities in order to share openly and fully their findings and knowledge with colleagues and the public.

Policy

The general policy of Drury University follows the long-standing academic tradition that intellectual property is owned by the author or creator of the work, unless covered by an exception to this rule as set forth below. Variances from this Policy must be approved in writing by the Provost and President.

Rules

  1. When an issue or process under this Policy arises that requires the input or action of an Intellectual Property Review Panel, the Provost shall appoint such a panel from the faculty and staff of the University to convene as needed to address the issue.The Provost and the college/school dean, in consultation with the Intellectual Property Review Panel, shall administer and interpret the policy on Intellectual Property and handle any necessary negotiations for Intellectual Property rights with faculty, staff, and students.
  2. The term “intellectual property” refers to tangible results of scholarship, research, teaching and advising, including but not limited to inventions, creations, new processes, innovations, works of art, audio recordings, films, lecture notes, musical scores, dramatic works and accompanying music, choreographic works, graphic and sculptural works, poetry, literature, textbooks and other books, distance learning materials, speeches, podcasts, documentaries, slideshows, educational courseware, and tangible research materials; that is, all copyrightable or patentable works, the patents and copyrights that reserve rights to them. The term “creator” or “author” signifies the individual(s) who invents, creates, authors or innovates with respect to the respective intellectual property. In the event that a faculty member, staff, or student anticipates the creation of intellectual property in any way connected with their work with the University that could be reasonably anticipated to have more than a nominal financial value, to clarify questions of ownership, they should submit a request to the Provost for review in consultation with the Intellectual Property Review Panel.
  3. This Intellectual Property Policy general policy that intellectual property is owned by the author or creator applies to works created by all classifications of faculty, staff and students of the University, except under the following circumstances, which may warrant ownership of said intellectual property by the University:
    1. A written agreement between the University and author or creators of the intellectual property otherwise outlines ownership of the intellectual property.
    2. The creation of the intellectual property was funded in whole or in part by an externally sponsored research program that allocates rights to the University, or as part of any agreement that allocates rights to the University. Ownership of intellectual property created pursuant to an agreement with any sponsor will be governed by the provisions of that agreement.

      Federally funded research has special provisions on rights to inventions. The Bayh-Dole Act gives the University title to discoveries and inventions arising from federally funded research. However, the University must grant nonexclusive use rights to the federal government. Also, if the University decides not to file a patent application on a discovery or invention and will not otherwise commercialize it, the University is required to return patent rights to the federal government.

    3. The creation of the intellectual property required use of University resources (e.g. course releases, paid or unpaid assistance of students, stipends, funding, facilities, equipment other than assigned computer, ) and/or University personnel beyond that required for the creator’s professional duties for the University. In these cases, the creator and the University will negotiate the intellectual property rights and the intellectual property rights shall be shared by the creator and the University in a proportion deemed appropriate by both parties according to the use of University resources.
    4. The creator was assigned or directed by the University to develop the intellectual property. In these cases, the University will negotiate a prior understanding or formal contract with the creator concerning ownership of the resulting intellectual property.
    5. The intellectual property was created by administrators, staff or other nonfaculty employees in the course of employment duties and constitutes work made for hire under US law or otherwise automatically vests ownership to the employer.
    6. The intellectual property was created by a consultant or independent contractor retained by Drury.
  4. The University generally makes no claim to ownership of Intellectual property created by students, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3 above and the following additional exceptions:
    1. Students who create intellectual property as part of classroom work where such work required use of University resources (e.g. activity grants, stipends, funding, facilities, equipment other than assigned computer) and/or University personnel beyond that required for the creator’s regular classwork for the University.
    2. Students working on a project governed by a written contract/agreement to which the University is a party shall be bound by the terms of that contract or agreement. In the absence of such a written contract/agreement.
    3. Students who are directed to perform specific tasks that contribute to the creation of intellectual property (including but not limited to student employees or research students) will ordinarily have no rights to ownership of that work, regardless of the source of funds from which they are paid unless a written contract/agreement is established at the start of
      the duties. In cases where there is no written contract/agreement, the party who owns the intellectual property resulting from the rest of the work will ordinarily retain ownership of the portion contributed by the student.
  5. In the event of unresolved disputes concerning the interpretation of this policy and/or negotiation of intellectual property rights, the creator shall submit a request for review to the Provost, who will, in consultation with the Intellectual Property Review Panel, make a determination resolving said dispute. A party who disagrees with the Provost’s determination may request a reconsideration from the President. The President’s decision shall be binding.

Honors Fellows Program (new for 2021-2022)

The Honors Fellows Program is designed to create opportunities for faculty members and departments to deepen their understanding of honors education and create honors experiences that will enhance learning opportunities for honors students across campus, improve honors advising, create new honors courses, construct more meaningful research opportunities for students, and develop better student pathways for research opportunities, grants, and fellowships. Additional goals include getting more faculty and departments involved with honors education, improving pedagogical techniques within honors education, improve advising pathways for honors, and more fully embedding the culture of honors throughout the university.

Honors Fellows will engage in dialogue, leadership, and service throughout the academic year to:

  • learn how faculty across campus can better support honors students and encourage honors students to be more ambitious in their approach to their education
  • explore how honors education, with its emphasis on exploring open-ended questions and student research, might be fostered among underserved students and those from historically-underrepresented communities
  • help faculty better understand issues and trends within honors education
  • create honors opportunities within departments and majors
  • explore how honors education fits within Drury’s approach to vocation and the blending of professional and life learning.
  • create an infrastructure for current and future faculty advisors to effectively advise honors students and to identify appropriate and ambitious university and post-graduate goals for honors students
  • develop research and creative opportunities for honors students.

2021-2022 Honors Faculty Fellow responsibilities:

  • Participate in a fall reading group on the value of honors education.
  • Coordinate a spring 2022 “Common Reading Program” for interested faculty and staff on a topic related to honors programs.
  • Participate in the Fall Honors Symposium.
  • Attend the Spring Honors Banquet.
  • Each Fellow will complete a project designed to improve honors education at Drury. Possible projects include any of the following: developing an honors class, a research project that can include honors students, an advising plan for honors students in your department or college, a web-page or promotional materials for honors students in your department or major, co-curricular opportunities for honors students, a plan to mentor honors students for major fellowships and grants, OR any other idea a faculty member might have.

Compensation: All Honors Faculty Fellows will receive a stipend of $500.

Drury Action Research Fellow (final year 2021-2022)

Drury Action Research Fellowship is a funded teaching scholarship program co-organized by the Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) and the Innovation and Teaching Center (ITC). Drury faculty are teacher-scholars dedicated to delivering high-quality educational experiences for students in addition to engaging in creative endeavors, research, and scholarship. The Drury Action Research Fellow (ARF) program encourages the use of innovative, as well as evidence-based teaching practices to enhance the effectiveness of Drury all courses.

The accepted Fellows begin with the Exploratory Phase (Phase I), where participants will articulate their understandings and beliefs about teaching and learning, and reflect on the classes they teach. In the 2020-2021 academic year, the Fellows will enter Action Research Phase (Phase II), where participants will conduct Action Research with the class they teach; that is, to ask research questions, collect data for analysis in their own classroom, and draw conclusions to inform future teaching.

This fellowship is designed to support Drury faculty to take the next step in educational innovation through reflecting and researching their own teaching. Fellows will be supported in three ways:

  1. Participation in an interdisciplinary community of faculty with similar goals to apply what research tells us about learning in the classroom
  2. Partnership with the Innovation and Teaching Center (ITC) with expertise in education research and classroom practice to support research design, data collection and analysis Fellows will have the opportunity to meet in person or by video conference with ITC. This time can be used to review and refine research plans and/or discuss the implications and contribution of your findings.
  3. $1,000 financial support: including $500 financial support for conducting the action research and additional $500 travel fund if the fellow present work at a research conference in their field.

Requirement for Phase I

In Spring 2020, Fellows will participate in two interviews and allow for one observation of their classrooms. The first interview will focus on exploring their philosophy of teaching and learning. The second interview will focus on stimulated reflection on the class observed.

Requirements for Phase II

Phase II will begin in August 2020 and conclude around May 2020. Fellows who have completed Phase I are eligible to continue with Phase II, where fellows will:

  • Propose an action research project where Fellows will implement innovative teaching in their classes and study learning outcomes.
  • Stay in regular communication and attend meetings with program research partner as needed.
  • Work with ITC to further develop the proposed study and ensure compliance with all policies of the Drury Office of Institutional Review Board for research on human subjects.
  • Present the study at Drury scholarship annual event and disseminate results by presenting a paper or poster at a conference or by submitting to a peer-reviewed journal.
  • Provide copies of all papers, posters and presentations to ITC.

In Phase II, fellows are encouraged to work in pairs and conduct research that examines classroom practices across courses and/or disciplines. Fellows are also encouraged to work with their department to include an undergraduate research assistant. Financial support will be awarded upon completion of the research project.
