MSUE Administrative Handbook

Table of Contents 

Introduction

This handbook is a compilation of policies from the MSU Faculty Handbook, the MSU Support Staff Handbook, and other MSUE policies and procedures specific to MSU Extension employees and operations.

When appropriate, every effort has been made to reproduce MSU policies accurately and to apply them correctly to MSU Extension.   Responsibility for final interpretation of any MSU policy lies with the University.
 
For MSUE policies, the Director or the Director's designate has authority regarding their meaning and interpretation.
 
Modification of MSUE policies must be in writing by, or at the direction of, the Director.  The MSUE policies will be updated from time to time by, or at the direction of, the Director.  The Director retains the sole prerogative to add MSUE policies or delete MSUE policies.
 
All MSUE employees are obliged to understand and follow the policies/procedures/processes contained in this handbook.
 
Questions regarding interpretation of the handbook policies should be addressed to MSUE Human Resources.
