2.1 Planning the Academic Hiring Procedure

The annual budget planning process is the critical vehicle for employment planning. Although its outcomes are shaped by college and unit planning processes which take account of special college/unit traditions and practices, strategic plan provides an organizational/philosophic overlay to the planning process.

Chairpersons and Deans have a responsibility as an individual to provide written support for and/or concurrence with recommendations to establish new positions or to fill vacant positions. Planning dialogues between the Chairperson and Dean are expected to address, but not be limited to the following factors:

Assessment of staffing needs in light of college/unit priorities identified in the budget planning process consistent with Bolder by Design
The specific qualification needs for faculty/academic staff to meet college/unit program priorities
The relative merit as to filling positions on a continuing or fixed term basis in light of program, market and budgetary considerations.
