Faculty Senate & Handbook
The University of Richmond Faculty Senate is the body authorized by both the University Faculty and the Board of Trustees to represent the faculty in the university’s governance process on matters that impact the university or affect more than one school.
Policies & Compliance
University policies provide a framework to support the teaching, research, and administrative work of the University and guide faculty regarding roles and responsibilities. Additionally, we expect adherence to the highest ethical and moral standards in the conduct of research and scholarly activity. Faculty are individually responsible for adhering to applicable laws and regulations, ethical standards of their respective professions, and University policies.
Academic Program Reviews
Academic Program Reviews (APRs) are a cornerstone of institutional excellence. These periodic reviews provide both internal and independent assessments of a department’s or program’s operations, curricular direction, and strategic priorities. They offer an important opportunity for reflection, evaluation, and planning — to look thoughtfully at the past, understand the present, and shape the future.
