An applicant pool may be used for the academic year for which it was generated for positions whose duties are within the position description sent to Office for Diversity and Affirmative Action for that pool. For spring appointments , this should be completed by December 1 and for fall , by July 1 . Any given pool is good for a year. The Deans or Vice Presidents, together with the Provost's Office and the Office for Diversity and Affirmative Action, will develop a list of departments or colleges where such pools will be required. Departments with pools established in this fashion must advertise for qualified applicants before emergency appointments are made.
Local searches are usually sufficient for filling part-time positions.
The rationale is that the University cannot expect someone to move to the community for a part-time job. All appointment papers sent to the Provost's Office must include the original search form and original signatures. A Waiver may state the length of time a person may work without meeting Affirmative Action search procedures. Those wishing to use a Waiver should consult with the Office for Diversity and Affirmative Action Director before initiating procedures for its use. The Director of Affirmative Action may, for compelling reasons, extend waiver periods.
