Requests for research funds may also be requested from the Vice Chancellor for Research. Occasionally, TOP prospects may surface during regular searches. Should that occur, then the unit may make the case to the Provost for funding a portion of the line. The department will be expected to pay at least one-third of the salary and to present a plan for eventually absorbing the entire cost over a determined period of time. However, by no means should TOP become the only route for appointment of faculty from underrepresented groups.
Regular searches are to comply with the letter and the spirit of equal opportunity.
