Supplement

This Supplement is included with the Faculty Handbook for convenience, and it contains policies which do not require faculty approval. It is a compilation of administrative polices that apply to IIT faculty members, staff and students. The policies contained in this Supplement do not include all such administrative policies; rather, they include those likely to be of particular relevance or interest to faculty members.

The policies included are listed below. Please note all of these policies are on-line. Although the General Counsel's Office will make every effort to ensure that this Supplement is updated to reflect any changes, users should check the on-line version of policies to verify they are looking at the most current version.
