Rice Unconventional Wisdom Chairs' Administrative Manual of Procedures

Welcome

Welcome to the Chairs' Manual of Administrative Procedures (CAMP for short). The purpose of this site is to familiarize faculty with the responsibilities they are assuming as department chairs and to provide an inventory of resources available to them in that role.

It is based on materials created previously by several divisions on campus, including a web site of the same name created in 2005 by School of Natural Sciences and an extensive handbook created in the School of Humanities.

If you have questions or comments about the site, or would like to request additional items be linked here, please contact Julia Amborski (jambor@rice.edu)
