Authority for Appointment

.009   Appointments to Faculty rank and to the associated positions named above are made by the President (Bylaws VIII, 1), ordinarily through delegation of authority to the Provost, subject to the following requirements for consultation [1]) or approval:

.010   The Academic Senate and the Board of Trustees must approve appointments with continuous tenure and conferral of the title Professor Emeritus or Emerita.

.011    The Academic Senate must approve appointments to senior Faculty rank.

.012   Appointments and reappointments of Faculty to junior Faculty rank may be made after consultation with the cognizant Faculty as provided in C-6.083-085, C-7.

.013   Appointments of Lecturers, Research or Clinical Associates, Visiting Scholars and Teaching or Research Assistants may be made upon the recommendation of the Chair of the Department, if the School is departmentalized, and the Dean of the School, who for this purpose act on behalf of their Faculty.

.014   When time does not allow completion of all required procedures for an initial appointment, the President, after consultation with the cognizant Dean, may issue an appointment ad interim to a rank that is appropriate and consistent with the prescribed criteria for rank.  Such an appointment may not be extended beyond a single one-year term, during which term the appointee has the rights and obligations proper to the rank.

.015   The terms and conditions of every appointment, in addition to the regulations of this Handbook, are those set forth in writing in the official letter of appointment issued by the Provost, copies of which are supplied to the appointee and the cognizant Chair and Dean.
