ABC's of Portland State University

A Handbook for Portland State Faculty

The Faculty Handbook is not a part of an individual's employment contract and should not be relied upon as such. In all instances Portland State University and the Oregon State Board of Higher Education (OSBHE) rules, policies, and procedures take precedence over this handbook. The Faculty Handbook is merely a description of these rules, policies, and procedures and does not supplant or alter them. Portland State or the OSBHE may find it necessary to make changes in rules, policies, and procedures. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of information in the Faculty Handbook. We invite you to send any recommendations or changes to the Office of Academic Affairs.

Portland State University is an affirmative action/equal employment opportunity institution.
