The Committee on the Faculty Handbook shall receive proposed changes to the Handbook in matters of University governance, including faculty services, policies, and responsibilities.

The committee is also responsible for codifying the records of changes in the Handbook; providing a record of the source, content, and approval authority of each revision; and monitoring and recommending policies and procedures for future Handbook revisions.
