VCOM Policy and Procedure

Policy #F001

10. OFFER EXTENSION Upon approval by the Campus Dean, the President, and Provost, the Associate Dean will contact the selected candidate to offer the position. If the candidate is still interested in the position upon receiving a verbal offer, the Associate Dean will inform the candidate that a contract will be developed for the candidate’s consideration. The contract duties are determined by the Campus Dean and submitted to the Provost for final approval and the President for contract development. The candidate will be required to accept the position and return the signed contract within two weeks of receiving the contract so not to lose additional applicants. Human Resources will also be responsible to send letters to the unsuccessful candidates after committee review. 11. ACCEPTANCE OF AN OFFER Upon acceptance of an offer, the Associate Dean or Campus Dean will notify the Director for Human Resources of the anticipated start date and other relevant information. New faculty will participate in a new hire orientation process through Human Resources. Human Resources engages the Center for Institutional, Faculty, and Student Success and all Divisions in the orientation process. Once a faculty member is hired, he or she applies to the Appointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee (APT) for recommendations for appointment. \ 12. DIFFICULT RECRUITMENTS For some positions, recruiting can be difficult due to the low number of potential candidates; thus, identifying multiple qualified candidates may not be possible. Modifications to this policy may be necessary from time-to-time and must be approved by the Provost and the President. 13. DURATION OF POLICY The Faculty Recruitment Policy established by Administration is effective as of the date above and will remain effective until amended or terminated by the President, with approval by the Board of Directors.
