Access Control

This policy is intended to ensure that the people requesting campus keys are authorized to get them; that key holders are held accountable for the return of keys; and that problems resulting from a lack of key control are quickly and effectively resolved. Individuals and/or departments that create a key control problem should be held accountable. Generally, this would mean financial responsibility for correcting the problem, but if the problem is criminal in nature, the campus would pursue legal remedies as appropriate.

Research Space for Emeriti

The highest priorities for space in academic departments are offices for regular faculty, research space for regular faculty, and offices for administrators, graduate student instructors, lecturers, and temporary teaching faculty. Space is also used for study facilities, computer rooms, departmental shops, commons, and other special uses that support particular departmental needs. Of necessity, the assignment of research space to emeritus professors is discretionary and it should not adversely affect the quantity or quality of research space provided for regular faculty members.
