I’m a Católica Lecturer: what are my rights and responsibilities?
A healthy academic community is built on mutual respect among its stakeholders. It is important to know your rights as a Católica lecturer and to keep in mind how they contribute to a fair, balanced and collaborative environment.
Rules and Regulations
The rules and regulations of a higher education institution are the set of formal rules that define how the organization works, what are the rights and duties of the people who are part of it and what are the global procedures to follow on a daily basis. In a simple way, it can be said that they constitute the "operating manual" of the institution. Understand the importance of standards and regulations to:
