- Academic Policies, Procedures and Benefits -
The policies by which academic appointees are governed are developed by the Indiana University Board of Trustees, the University Faculty Council, and/or administrative bodies and officers of the university, acting in accordance with authority conferred upon them by the laws of the State of Indiana, the Indiana University Board of Trustees, and the Faculty Constitution. In addition, IUPUI faculty may wish to consult the IUPUI Supplement, which addresses both general policies and those specific to schools and units based on the IUPUI campus. When in doubt about the currency of any policy, it is recommended that Faculty Appointments and Advancement (FAA) be contacted to ensure that the most accurate information is provided.
Academic appointees are eligible for the same retirement and insurance benefits as all Indiana University appointed employees. If appointed at 50% or greater FTE, academic employees are eligible to participate in the appropriate retirement plan, and are automatically enrolled at the time they are hired. Eligibility for health care benefits is limited to full time appointees, and becomes effective immediately at the time of hire, although the new appointee will be required to complete specific plan enrollment forms, which will be provided by the campus Benefits Office.
Time off benefits for appointed academic employees are available based upon type of appointment. Specifically, these are categorized as vacation, sick leave, or partially paid family leave.
In addition, faculty members are eligible for sabbatical leaves, and that process is managed by FAA.
