1.7 Binding Nature of Handbook

To the extent consistent with the college's Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Calvin College, the rules and regulations set forth in this handbook shall be binding on the College, its Board of Trustees, officers, and faculty. Changes may be made to this handbook by the Board of Trustees in consultation with the Faculty Senate and the president. (Changes to the Faculty Bylaws, section 2.1 of this handbook, also require a 2/3 vote of the enfranchised faculty.) Unless otherwise specified in the handbook, changes are effective on September 1 following the Board meeting at which the changes are made.
