POLICY 4.8.1 - Faculty Search Policy
Vacancy notices for regular full-time faculty positions will be published in a public forum. In most cases, all such positions will be advertised in “The Chronicle of Higher Education” and, where appropriate, in at least one professional journal of the discipline involved.
For all regular full-time faculty positions, a search committee will be established by the dean of the school in which the appointment will be held. The search committee will normally include the following: at least one member of the discipline (or department or division, according to the organization of the school), the department or division chair (where applicable), at least two other members of the school, and the dean. The dean may appoint additional persons within or outside the school.
For all full-time positions which carry faculty status but which are primarily administrative or non-teaching (e.g., deans and librarians), the provost will establish the search committee, following applicable guidelines from above.
