University of Illinois at Chicago
Faculty Handbook
Section I. Overview
A. Welcome – A
Message from the Provost
Dear Colleagues:
This handbook is intended to help you achieve your greatest potential
as a faculty member at UIC. You are doubtless aware that
many people are counting on you. UIC is vital locally, nationally
and internationally in many ways. We lead in educating a
diverse student body and conducting excellent research. The
campus is also an economic engine, a major healthcare and public
service provider, and a place to promote frank inquiry and social
justice.
Your
role in advancing this ambitious mission brings with it a correspondingly
complex set of privileges and responsibilities. UIC is committed
to helping you navigate your obligations successfully, with the
knowledge that your personal success will extend to the many people
that we serve.
R. Michael Tanner
Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
