Requesting a Position Departments submit written requests for new tenure-track position(s) to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs via the college dean, who may make a request for a tenure-track position at any time. Normally, however, these requests occur at the beginning of the academic year and no later than the deadline established annually by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will notify the college as soon as possible after this deadline of his/her decision, to allow adequate time for a full and thorough national search. Departments begin to recruit for tenure-track positions after the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs has acted upon the dean's recommendation and allocated a position and after the Faculty Affairs and Affirmative Action Offices approve the position description, advertising copy, and recruiting plan for the position.
Qualifications for Tenure-Track Hire The qualifications for tenure-track hires are governed by Academic Senate S89-159.
