XVIII. Office or Conference Hours

In accepting employment at Washburn University, the faculty member accepts the objectives of the University and, among these objectives, the idea of a close association with students on an individual basis. This implies that faculty members are available to students for individual advising. To this end, all faculty members must establish a schedule of office hours sufficient to meet this obligation and display this schedule of office hours on the office door. Conference hours should be scheduled at periods when the students are most likely to be able to utilize them. Conference hours should be kept as faithfully and regularly as class hours.
