Before making any important decisions regarding your faculty appointment, consult with the Scripps Department Chair (and the UC San Diego Policy and Procedure Manual (PPM), and the Academic Personnel Manual (APM), which are the ultimate authority regarding ‘The Rules’). Your division business office is the best source for assistance in most matters related to your research program; if needed, they will direct you to the appropriate person within the Scripps Director’s Office (contacts are listed under each specific area of responsibility).
This document is specific to Scripps and far from complete. Other useful information is available at UC San Diego’s Useful Links for Faculty and the UC Faculty Handbook (last published in 1995, but still has useful and relevant information).
