Filling non-academic positions and requesting new non-academic positions

• A request to fill a non-academic vacancy or a request for a new position should be submitted by the department head to the supervising Dean or Vice President.
• The request submitted by the department head should include a written position description with a list of responsibilities and the specific need for the position
• The request should address alternate ways in which the needs could be met and/or any detrimental effects on the department or University if the vacancy were not filled.
• The Dean or Vice President will forward the request to the Budget Advisory Committee (c/o Tom Williams) with his/her recommendation and an anticipated salary range.
• The Committee will review all open positions and recommend to the President whether the requested position should be filled or whether the vacancy should remain in the pool of position requests with a priority established by the Committee.

The Budget Advisory Committee will recommend to the President a priority ranking of open position requests. All requests for filling vacated positions and for creating new positions will be evaluated in relation to that list.

It is anticipated that the Committee will meet monthly to review new requests and to evaluate the priority rankings. Questions about this procedure can be directed to June Aprille (x8705) or Steve McAllister (x8942).
