Policies

This Standard Operating Procedure will govern the requirement for obtaining and using a hot work permit for all hot work on campus, including FO&M and contractors.

This policy provides information on Dartmouth's immigration sponsorship for international students, researchers, faculty and staff.

Departments and business units often engage the services of Independent Contractors, individuals, sole proprietors, or single member limited liability corporations (L.L.C.) who are not employees of Dartmouth, including guest lecturers, entertainers, suppliers, and others. It is important to correctly classify Independent Contractors and employees to ensure appropriate compensation method and tax compliance.

The Independent Contractors and Guests Policy defines the correct mechanism for engaging individuals, sole proprietors, or single member L.L.C. to perform services for Dartmouth and the required procedures. The Independent Contractors and Guests Policy separates engagement into three categories: Honoraria (guests), Limited Engagements, and Independent Contractor service agreements. Each category has a specific process and form(s) to ensure Dartmouth is protected.
 

The Board of Trustees and the following senior leaders (or their designees) are the recognized institutional spokespeople for Dartmouth: the President, the Provost, the Senior Vice President for Communications, the Director of Media Relations, and the General Counsel.

Dartmouth seeks to foster a community where faculty, students, and staff engage complex issues. To provide space for diverse viewpoints to be raised and fully considered, Dartmouth should exercise general restraint in issuing institutional statements. This general policy of restraint applies to the leaders of all Dartmouth's schools and academic subunits.
