32 Faculty Handbook – August 2022 Adjunct faculty members are expected to provide a total of two office hours per week. These may be provided face-to-face or via remote means, e.g., Zoom. If an adjunct faculty member does not have a university office and would like a place to meet with students face-to-face, they should contact their department chair to locate a suitable meeting place on campus. FACULTY WORKLOAD See the Faculty Policy Manual for details on faculty workload. MEETING CLASSES It is the responsibility of the faculty member to meet all classes promptly and to present a full period of significant instruction. When there is an illness, the department chair/academic dean must be notified so that arrangements for covering the class can be made. The department chair/academic dean reports the arrangements to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. All absences for either personal or professional reasons must be cleared in advance with the department chair/academic dean so that the instructional program can be continued. See Faculty Absences, below. FACULTY GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES See BOR Policy 4:7 for the faculty grievance policy. CANCELLATION OF CLASSES DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER The President establishes the reporting procedure with the media. In addition, the Campus Alert system will also be used to notify staff and students, by telephone, email or text message. PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW IN THE EVENT OF A BOMB THREAT The person receiving a threat is to record the exact wording of the threat and the time it was received; to attempt to get as much information about the location, time, and other details as possible; immediately call 9-911 to notify the Aberdeen City Police. EVACUATING A BUILDING DUE TO SOUNDING OF FIRE ALARM The fire alarm bells signal evacuation of a building for a fire, fire drill, bomb threat, or any other reason. Employees should close all windows and doors to their offices and leave the building immediately. Specific instructions for evacuation are provided for each building; however, the following general policy will provide direction in most instances. When the fire alarm sounds occupants of the building are to walk (not run) down the halls and stairs in single file. They will leave the building through the closest exit to their respective areas. Sufficient room must be provided at all times on stairways and in the halls for fire fighters in case
