The purpose of the Faculty Manual is to provide all members of the faculty with knowledge of relevant policies, regulations, and expectations in effect at the American University of Beirut (AUB). The listed policies apply in all cases, except those in which there is a written agreement to the contrary between the university and a faculty member, in which case the terms of that agreement shall prevail. Any policy may be terminated, suspended, altered, amended, or otherwise, in whole or in part, and shall so be announced to the faculty members, in line with relevant university guidelines and procedures.
