Before bringing any candidate to the campus, the chair must secure the authorization of the Dean of the Faculty. The appropriate affirmative action records must be submitted to the Dean and the Affirmative Action Officer, along with the record of the candidates to be considered. For a tenure track position the department should normally bring three candidates to campus, and, for a substitute position, two candidates. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Dean of the Faculty in advance. Affirmative Action forms are available from the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.
Chairs are responsible for scheduling interviews.
The Dean and two senior faculty, including at least one member of FASC, interview all candidates for first regular appointments to the professorial ranks. The President may also interview such candidates. The President, as well as the Dean and all members of FASC, interview candidates for senior faculty appointment. All visits of candidates should be scheduled only after consultation with the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and with the Faculty Appointments and Salary Committee to ascertain their availability, and, where applicable, the Office of the President. Note, however, that members of the Faculty Appointments and Salary Committee interview candidates for tenure track positions but not candidates for substitute, alternate, or part-time positions.
