Professional Rights and Responsibilities (PRR)

PRR Intro page

Introduction

The foundation for the Professional Rights and Responsibilities of Faculty Members and Roles and Professional Responsibilities of Academic Leaders was first developed by the faculty at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder in the early 1980s. The PRR describes the professional standards faculty members are expected to maintain and provides a mechanism for addressing allegations that a faculty member has failed to meet those standards.
