Preamble:
It is recognized that there may be limited emergency circumstances
where a University position may be temporarily filled without a
search. This policy statement is intended to define and describe
those limited circumstances.
Policy Statement:
In limited emergency circumstances where illness, death, an
unexpected retirement or resignation, a change in enrollment or a
change in departmental responsibility or direction creates a need for
an immediate replacement or an additional employee, a faculty or an
unclassified professional position may be temporarily filled without a
search. Budget officers should submit a justification to their
budget review officer and appropriate vice president explaining the
need for an emergency hire. If the proposed emergency hire is
authorized by the budget review officer and appropriate vice president,
the proposal should then be submitted to the Director of Equal
Employment Opportunity for review. After review by the Director
of Equal Employment Opportunity, the vice president may finalize the
emergency hire. The Director of Human Resources and the Director
of Equal Employment Opportunity should receive notification of the
hire. Any position filled by an emergency hire shall be a
contingent or temporary appointment and may be for no more than twelve
months. A search process should be initiated as soon as possible.
The Director of Equal Employment Opportunity shall have primary responsibility for publication, dissemination and implementation of this University policy.
