111 Important Note: Since gifts of tangible property could create a hardship to Fairmont State University as explained in (a) through (g) above, gifts-in-kind must be reviewed and approved by the Presidents' Council and be recommended for acceptance from the respective President to the Vice President for Institutional Advancement. Donations of Material to Libraries of Fairmont State University The Libraries of Fairmont State University welcome gifts of books, archival materials, or other appropriate items that support the mission of the Libraries of Fairmont State University and Pierpont Community & Technical College. Gifts appropriate for the general collection should support the curriculum or build the general academic stature of the Libraries. Gifts that are accepted for the Archives generally should relate to the cultural heritage and historical development of West Virginia, and in particular, the service area of Fairmont State University. (a) The Libraries accept donations that will strengthen the collections. In some instances, it is appropriate for a librarian to examine the materials prior to acceptance. Materials that duplicate existing holdings or are not appropriate will not be added to the collections, and may be offered to other libraries or to students and faculty. (b) The Libraries reserve the right to determine the retention of all items in a major donation. Items not added to the collections will be given to other libraries, offered to students and faculty, or discarded. Items not added to the collection may be returned to the donor, upon the special request of that donor. (c) The appraisal of donations to the Libraries is the responsibility of the donor. The Libraries, as an interested party, cannot make appraisals of donations made to it. For any gifts valued at over $5,000, for which an external appraisal is necessary, the Fairmont State Foundation is responsible for officially receiving the gift and for handling paperwork for the Internal Revenue Service. (d) The Libraries will acknowledge all donations with a letter from the Director of Library Services with a general description of the donation. It is the responsibility of the donor to provide a detailed inventory of the donation or a listing of titles if these are desired. Unusual or unique gifts will be acknowledged publicly unless the donor requests anonymity. (e) When appropriate, the Director of Library Services will request that the Fairmont State Foundation acknowledge unique or unusual gifts. (f) The Libraries shall determine the type of cataloging, the location of materials, and the circulating status after receiving the donation. The Libraries do not necessarily keep multiple items in a donation together as a unit. (g) The Libraries will provide a bookplate and notice in the online catalog acknowledging the donation if the donor so desires. (h) All materials donated to the Libraries will be accessible by the public, either in the general collections or for research in the Archives. (i) Researchers using material in the Archives have the right to make single copies of items within the restrictions of the fair use copyright guidelines. (j) It is the responsibility of the donor to make arrangements for the transportation of the material to the Libraries.
112 (k) All major donations are accepted subject to the final approval of the Director of Library Services. Any exceptions to this policy must be agreed upon in writing prior to the receipt of the donation. FAIRMONT STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF GOVERNORS POLICY NO. 38 TITLE: FACULTY SICK LEAVE EFFECTIVE DATE: NOVEMBER 10, 2005 The purpose of this policy is to clarify faculty rights and responsibilities when a faculty member cannot meet with classes or carry out other official duties because of personal illness; clarify the duties of Deans in such cases; and provide guidelines for requesting short-term disability leave. Since faculty members on a contract of less than twelve months do not earn or accrue sick or annual leave (per HEPC Series 38 and WVCCTC 135-38), this policy addresses procedures for occasions when personal illness occurs. This policy is not intended to address all issues surrounding the request for unpaid medical or Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave and is in no way intended to limit or prohibit faculty members from requesting and taking such leave. State law (§12-3-13) prohibits the payment of wages when work is not performed. This policy is intended to provide a procedure and plan that protects the faculty member and the institutions in cases in which faculty members are unable to work due to personal illness. The Fairmont State University Board of Governors strongly encourages all benefits-eligible faculty members to enroll in a short-term disability plan and directs the administration to make such a plan available. General Provisions Each faculty member is employed to carry out duties which include but are not limited to meeting with each assigned class during its scheduled time frame and performing other related faculty responsibilities. A faculty member who must miss scheduled work time (class, office, committee, or other) because of personal illness or injury is required to notify his or her immediate supervisor). A work day is defined as a day on which the faculty member would regularly be scheduled to meet with a class, hold office hours, or perform other duties such as advising or committee work. A “health care professional” is defined as a person, other than the employee or a member of his or her family who (a) is licensed to practice medicine under the laws of the state in which he or she practices; or (b) is legally qualified as a medical practitioner and required to be recognized by the insurance laws of the state in which he or she practices. Dean Responsibilities In the event of the faculty member’s absence, it becomes the responsibility of the Dean (or his or her designee such as department chair or program coordinator) to ensure that: (1) Another member of the faculty/staff will meet with the classes affected, or
