Hiring Faculty and Unclassified Administrators.

The policy and procedure for hiring of faculty and unclassified administrators is outlined in this policy. The chair of the search committee is responsible for following the procedures and ensuring that all who are involved in the process do so as well.
All individuals in the recruitment and hiring process must cooperate with the University’s commitment to equal opportunity and understand that hiring decisions will be made without regard to race, sex, religion, age, national origin, disability or veteran’s status.
The appropriate vice president must authorize all positions.  The Office of Human Resources will provide assistance in filing unclassified administrative positions. The Division of Academic Affairs will provide assistance in filing faculty positions.
