Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3356 - Youngstown State University › Chapter 3356-9 - Selection and Evaluation of Officers of University and Employment of Students › Section 3356-9-05 - Faculty rank and tenure for designated administrators

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Policy statement. Appropriate to their academic
			 credentials, experience and position, persons hired to serve as president,
			 provost, vice president, dean, department chair, or other administrative
			 positions may be appointed with earned faculty rank and tenure upon the
			 recommendation of the president to the board of trustees for their
			 approval.
(B)
								Procedures.
(1)
									If appointment is to be with faculty rank and tenure,
			 the academic credentials of the candidate will be presented to the appropriate
			 department and dean for review. Granting of faculty rank and tenure to
			 designated administrators will normally require that the individual will have
			 earned rank and tenure at a previous institution.
(2)
									The department
			 will prepare a written recommendation regarding the viability of candidate's
			 receipt of faculty rank and tenure. This recommendation will be forwarded to
			 the dean of the college (unless it is for a candidate for the position of dean,
			 in which case the recommendation will be forwarded to the provost), who will
			 forward the department's and his/her recommendation to the
			 provost.
(3)
									The provost will make recommendations to the president
			 on the granting of faculty rank and tenure to candidates for dean, department
			 chair, and other administrative positions. After paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2)
			 of this rule are followed, the president will make a recommendation to the
			 board of trustees regarding faculty rank and tenure of the candidate for
			 provost.
(4)
									The president will make recommendations to the board of
			 trustees on the granting of rank and tenure for designated administrators to
			 the board of trustees (excepting him or herself). The board of trustees will
			 exercise final decision-making authority on all of the above recommendations
			 and, as appropriate, on the granting of rank and tenure to the
			 president.
(5)
									The designated administrator will be assigned a faculty
			 base salary after the conferral of tenure. The faculty base salary will be
			 determined based on the following procedure:
(a)
										Faculty salaries
			 at the appointed faculty rank in the appropriate department/college will serve
			 as a guideline.
(b)
										The provost negotiates the faculty base salary with the
			 hiring authority.
(c)
										The agreed-upon faculty base salary is recorded in the
			 office of human resources and serves as the basis for calculating a faculty
			 salary should the administrator return to faculty status.
(d)
										Each year the
			 faculty base salary is updated based on negotiated annual increases in the
			 agreement between Youngstown state university ("YSU") and the Youngstown state
			 university Ohio education association ("YSU-OEA").
(6)
									Administrators
			 with faculty rank and tenure earned at Youngstown state university may return
			 to their faculty position with tenure and at the rank held prior to
			 administrative appointment. The faculty base salary prior to administrative
			 appointment will be adjusted based on negotiated annual increases in the
			 agreement between YSU and YSU-OEA.
(7)
									Tenure provisions
			 defined in the YSU/YSU-OEA agreement current at the time of return or transfer
			 to a full-time faculty position apply. Rank and tenure are not guaranteed for
			 any administrator who has been removed from his or her administrative position
			 for cause.
