The Baruch College Faculty Handbook

Faculty Rights and Responsibilities

Last updated on 06/26/2007

On March 6, 2003, Provost David Dannenbring addressed these topics at a plenary session of the Baruch College Faculty Senate. Meeting first with the Senate's Executive Committee, the Provost agreed to avoid issues covered specifically in the collective bargaining agreement. Instead, he based his presentation on the CUNY Bylaws, and two documents produced by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP): the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure and the Statement on Professional Ethics.

• Provost Dannenbring's Powerpoint presentation is available here.

You can gain access to the documents it was drawn from through the links below:

• Bylaws of the CUNY Board of Trustees
• Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure: adopted in 1940, with interpretive comments from 1970.
• Statement on Professional Ethics: a 1987 revision of a statement adopted in 1966.
