1-10 Governing Body

Anything in this Faculty Handbook notwithstanding, the Board of Trustees is United States University's governing body. All of United States University's activities and affairs will be conducted by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The President of United States University is the chief executive officer and has, subject to the Board of Trustees' control, authority over all University affairs and activities. The Board of Trustees, the administration, and the Faculty recognize the Faculty Senate as the Faculty's primary Faculty governance body. The Faculty has the right and obligation to advise and confer with the President, the Provost, Deans, and other administrative officers on issues affecting the Faculty's status, responsibilities, and welfare.

This Faculty Handbook governs the rights and responsibilities of the Faculty at United States University. In the event of a conflict between the Faculty Bylaws and the Faculty Handbook, this Faculty Handbook will take precedence.
