The Administrative Manual of Isabela State University (ISU), a comprehensive guide designed to ensure the highest standards of governance, transparency, and accountability within the university. This manual serves as an essential resource for all ISU employees, providing guidance on the governing principles, policies, and practices that shape and support the operations of our institution. With a commitment to integrity, respect, and excellence, this manual sets the foundation for a positive and productive work environment.

The ISU Administrative Manual outlines key procedures, ethical standards, and guidelines that protect the rights and interests of ISU’s workforce, including administrative staff, faculty, and support personnel. Within these pages, employees will find clearly defined policies on employment, professional conduct, and workplace ethics, each aligned with ISU’s mission to uphold a fair and inclusive environment.

One of the cornerstone values upheld in this manual is the principle of academic freedom. ISU recognizes and respects the right of its faculty to engage in meaningful scholarship, express their academic opinions, and pursue areas of research that contribute to the advancement of knowledge. Thus, this commitment is further enshrined in the ISU’s Research Manual, a testament to the freedom of every faculty member to select and investigate research areas of their choosing without restriction and to publicly share and discuss their findings. Whether through teaching, publishing, or presenting, faculty are encouraged to explore and communicate their academic insights in ways that enrich both the university and the broader community.
