When special course offerings are demanded by circumstances
				such as changes in staff, the divisional dean may grant temporary approval. The
				dean may also grant temporary approval to a new course that a department or
				program wishes to test before seeking permanent approval. Once a course is
				offered under this temporary provision, it may be offered any number of times
				during the next four terms. All requests for temporary course approval must be
				accompanied by a syllabus and shall be forwarded, with a recommendation, by the

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
The provost wishing reappointment will
				be evaluated during the fifth year of service using a questionnaire distributed
				to all faculty and academic administrators. A committee of three elected from
				and by all academic deans will be involved in drafting the questionnaire in
				cooperation with the president. The committee will review the specific results
				of the evaluation in confidence with the president. A summary of the results of
				the evaluation will be given to the provost. Barring a request by the provost
				not to be reappointed, a summary of the results will be distributed to all
				academic deans, and department chairs, who will share them with their faculty.
				The reappointment decision will be made by the president; however,
				reappointment will normally be made in conformity with the judgment of the
				deans, and department chairs. The provost may be removed at any time by the
				president for cause.

Chairs of academic departments are
				appointed by the provost upon the recommendation of the appropriate academic
				dean. The academic dean shall make the recommendation following consultation
				with members of the department and chairs of the related departments;
				appointment should normally be in conformity with the department's judgment.
				Academic deans will consult with the dean of the regional campuses regarding

				reappointment of a department chair is not in conformity with the department's
				judgment, the department shall be given a written explanation for the
				discrepancy. Responsibilities of the chair are assigned by the academic
				dean.
The initial term of appointment for a
				department chair will be five years. A chair who has served an initial term may
				be reappointed for additional term(s), each term not to exceed five years.
				Formal evaluation must precede reappointment to any additional term. The
				results of such evaluations are then shared, by the appropriate dean, with the
				provost.
With the concurrence of the provost,
				the academic dean may at any time reassign a department chair to the faculty.
				Reasons for reassignment include, but are not limited to, failure to perform
				duties in a satisfactory manner; violation of university rules, regulations or
				policies and/or directives of the board of trustees; and/or violation of
				professional ethics or commission of an illegal act. In the event the reasons
				supporting reassignment also constitute grounds for discipline or termination,

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Membership
An all-university faculty committee for
				evaluation of administrators will review the provost, all academic deans, the
				associate provost for research and dean of the graduate school, the dean and
				university librarian, and the university director of liberal education in years
				three and five of their five-year administrative appointments. Committee
				reports are intended to serve two functions:
(1)
									To guide the
			 professional development of the individuals, and
(2)
									To record part of
			 the evidence upon which future personnel decisions may be based.
The all-university faculty committee
				for evaluation of administrators (committee) will consist of eight members of
				the faculty assembly, one to be chosen by each division for a total of five,
				one to be chosen by the library faculty and one to be chosen by each of the
				regional campuses. The members of the committee will be elected by the faculty
				with election procedures to be set by the university senate. The committee
				shall elect one of its members to serve as chair. Members of the committee who
				are on probationary status (i.e., nontenured or who do not hold continuing
				contract status) are not eligible to serve as chair of the committee. In
				accordance with a university senate motion of November 5, 1990, the library
				faculty as well as the faculty of the regional campuses shall not be eligible
				as nominees or electors in the election of divisional representatives. Each
				member will serve a nonrenewable three-year term beginning July first of each
				year. The terms will be staggered so that one-third of the committee is elected
				each year. In the event of the resignation of a member of the committee before
				the end of his or her term, that seat shall be filled by the candidate (who had
				not been previously elected) who received the largest number of votes when the
				ballots are retabulated after votes for the person who has resigned have been
				deleted. In the event no such candidate is available, a new election will be
				held for the vacated seat.

In each division, a divisional faculty
				committee for evaluation of administrators will review all department chairs,
				and directors of academic programs in years three and five of their five-year
				administrative appointments. Divisions may decide to conduct more frequent
				reviews; departments and programs may ask divisions to conduct more frequent
				reviews. The divisional faculty committee for evaluation of administrators will
				consist of three to nine faculty elected by faculty of the division with
				election procedures approved by the university senate. The divisional faculty
				committee for evaluation of administrators will seek evaluations from faculty
				represented by the administrative unit and will prepare an evaluation report to
				be submitted to the dean. Committee reports are intended to serve two
				functions: to guide the professional development of the individuals, and to
				record part of the evidence upon which future personnel decisions may be
				based.
The provisions outlined above regarding
				the evaluation questionnaires and the committee reports apply to the
				evaluations conducted by divisional committees for evaluation of
				administrators, except that the divisional committees do not interact with
				committees established to evaluate the academic deans or provost.

The terms of appointments to the
				unclassified administrative staff are made in writing and include the
				appointment period.
Normally, members of the unclassified
				administrative staff are expected to give full time service to Miami university

				and the individual's supervisor. Except for holidays observed by the university
				and individually arranged vacation and leave days, administrative service
				continues throughout the year, whether or not classes are in

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3339 - Miami University › Chapter 3339-13 - Unclassified Administrative Staff › Section 3339-13-03 - Unclassified administrative staff appointments

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
Although there are specific exceptions, it is the policy of
				Miami university to limit the term of at-will fiscal year employment generally
				to no more than five years after which 
								a member of the unclassified
				administrative staff  enjoys extended appointment status.
Extended appointment status confers a measure of job security
				on an individual that is not contemplated by Ohio's at-will doctrine.
				Individuals who have achieved this status may not be terminated from employment
				without cause - to include lack of funds and/or lack of work, as well as
				performance-related issues.
It is expected that with respect to program reduction or
				elimination, members of the unclassified
				administrative staff will be given as much notice
				as possible if their employment is to be terminated or significantly altered in
				character. It is further expected that with respect to performance-related
				issues a  member
				of the unclassified administrative staff will
				normally be apprised of any problem or deficiency in his or her work
				performance and will be given a reasonable period of time in which to
				demonstrate that the problem or deficiency has been overcome; termination will
				not normally occur without documented efforts to bring about improvement
				through counseling. Notice of termination will be accompanied by the
				opportunity for a hearing with the appropriate vice president or his or her
				designee.
This policy will be administered by the department of human
				resources and academic personnel services which will establish procedures for
				implementing this policy in consultation with the unclassified personnel
				advisory committee. Such procedures are approved by the president.
Unclassified administrative staff
				appointees are sometimes extended the courtesy of academic rank by departments
				and may sometimes be asked to teach a course; such arrangements do not affect
				the employment relationship with respect to their positions in the unclassified
				administrative service. Rank is a matter between
				the individual and the conferring department and carries with it no special
				rights or privileges that accrue to the unclassified administrative appointment.
Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3339 - Miami University › Chapter 3339-13 - Unclassified Administrative Staff › Section 3339-13-04 - Unclassified administrative staff appointment status and annual evaluation

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Appointment
			 status
Each unclassified administrative staff position at Miami
				university will be designated as either an extended appointment eligible
				position or annual appointment position.
These designations will be determined by the appropriate vice
				president or a senior administrator of each division of Miami university; these
				designations will be communicated to the appropriate personnel office whose
				staff will be charged with including this information in letters of
				appointment.
The presidency and vice presidencies are annual appointment
				positions.
Other annual unclassified administrative staff positions
				include those such as athletic director and coaches; those in which it is
				expected that an individual will stay for no more than five years; those in
				which an individual is hired to fulfill a specific grant or for a particular
				project; and positions which are part time or temporary. Normally, such
				appointments are made annually for a period of one year.
(B) Annual evaluation
Each member of the unclassified administrative staff is to be
				evaluated at least once per fiscal year. Prior to undertaking a performance
				evaluation, the evaluator and the employee should review and, if appropriate,
				update the position description to accurately describe the job duties the
				employee is expected to perform.
Performance evaluations are based on meeting established goals
				and objectives and assessing how an employee is performing in his or her role
				at the university.
An
				annual evaluation via an online performance module has been approved for
				the purpose of evaluating members of the unclassified administrative staff and
				is accessible on the human resources and academic personnel websites. Divisions
				may 
									use the online module for the
				purpose of evaluating members of the unclassified administrative staff in their
				respective division.
Copies of updated position descriptions and annual performance
				evaluations should be forwarded to the appropriate personnel office for review
				and placed in the employee's personnel file.
Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3339 - Miami University › Chapter 3339-13 - Unclassified Administrative Staff › Section 3339-13-05 - Unclassified administrative staff job responsibilities

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
Unclassified administrative staff are
				expected to maintain the normal business hours of the university, consistent
				with the terms of their appointment. Unclassified administrative staff are
				professional employees of the university who should think in terms of "getting
				the job done" rather than serving a set number of hours per day, week, or
				year.
The overriding concern of a department
				must, of course, be the effective conduct of its business. Because of the
				nature of the university and the specific job responsibilities, unclassified
				administrative staff may work at other than the normal office hours. It is also
				recognized that these positions may, from time to time, require extraordinary
				time commitments to enable a job requirement to be completed in a timely
				manner. To the end that the department head determines that office business
				will continue to be conducted in an effective manner, reasonable requests for
				personal accommodations and time off in recognition of extraordinary work time
				commitment would be granted.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Definitions and purpose
Professional librarians normally
				receive twelve month appointments which are made annually during the
				probationary period. During the probationary period of employment each
				librarian receives performance ratings. After satisfactory completion of the
				probationary period, a professional librarian with the continuing contract
				eligible rank of assistant librarian or above becomes eligible for a continuing
				contract.
A continuing contract is a contract
				which shall remain in effect until the librarian resigns, retires, or is
				terminated. It assures the individual continued employment as a professional
				librarian, but does not relate to continuation in a specific position. A
				continuing contract is subject to Ohio law and is contingent upon sufficient
				appropriations of the general assembly of Ohio.
Visiting librarians may not hold
				continuing contracts, although time spent as a visitor may apply toward the
				probationary period for continuing contract if the person is subsequently
				appointed to a continuing contract eligible position. A visiting librarian may
				be continued on annual contract for as many years as both parties
				agree.
(B)
								Procedures for considering individuals for and the
			 granting of continuing contract
The privilege of continuing contract is
				conferred by the board of trustees upon the recommendation of the president.
				The approval process begins with the library personnel committee and progresses
				through the dean and university librarian and the provost. For a note
				concerning the constitution of this committee, see "Employment of members of
				the same family."
Using established and published
				procedures which provide equity and due process, the personnel committee, an
				advisory body to the dean elected by the librarians, collects information on
				the candidates for continuing contract, deliberates and submits its
				recommendations to the dean. Candidates for a continuing contract must have the
				positive recommendation of either the department head or library personnel
				committee to qualify for consideration by the dean.
Candidates must have the positive
				recommendation of the dean to be advanced to the provost.
The provost considers each candidate
				recommended by the dean. Those recommended by the provost are forward to the
				president; those candidates recommended by the president are forwarded to the
				board of trustees. The dean will notify the candidates and the library
				personnel committee of the action taken by the provost, the president, and the
				board of trustees.
For additional information, please see
				the university libraries governance document.

(A)
								Categories of
			 external support
(1)
									The university encourages faculty, staff, and students
			 to pursue external support in the form of contracts, grants, cooperative
			 agreements and gifts. Contracts and grants are formal agreements requiring the
			 university to carry out a set of specific tasks. A grant is somewhat less
			 specific than a contract in that the specific project schedule is less detailed
			 and final result less certain. A cooperative agreement requires that the
			 university interact on a continuing basis throughout a project with an external
			 agent. A gift is an allocation of funds from an external source that does not
			 require the university to carry out a specific task. Gifts, which may be
			 unrestricted or restricted, may carry a general designation for use, such as
			 scholarships.
(2)
									Proposals seeking support in the form of a contract,
			 grant or cooperative agreement, whether from a public or private funding
			 source, must be cleared through the approval process which is managed by the
			 office for the advancement of research and scholarship (oars). These proposals
			 must be submitted to the office for the advancement of research and scholarship
			 in sufficient time to permit appropriate internal review and also meet the
			 submission deadlines of external funding agencies.
(3)
									All proposals
			 submitted by Miami university must be signed by an oars staff member who is
			 designated as an authorized university official. Plans to submit such proposals
			 to a private funding source, such as a foundation or corporation, need to be
			 discussed with the office for the advancement of research and scholarship well
			 in advance of proposal deadlines so that the solicitation efforts may be
			 coordinated with the office of development. Proposals or other plans for
			 seeking support in the form of a gift must be cleared through the office of
			 development.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								General
Miami university requires investigators
				on proposals to all external agencies, public and private, to disclose to the
				university, via the associate provost for research, prior to submittal of the
				proposal, any significant financial interest (including those of spouse and
				dependent children) that would reasonably appear to be affected by the
				activities proposed for funding. Such a disclosure is facilitated by a question
				on the university's proposal approval form and, in the event of a possible
				conflict of interest, use of the university's financial disclosure
				form.
(B)
								Required disclosure
Investigators must disclose to Miami
				university all significant financial interests:
(1)
									That would
			 reasonably appear to be affected by the research or educational activities
			 funded or proposed for funding;
(2)
									In entities whose
			 financial interest would reasonably appear to be affected by such
			 activities.
A significant financial interest means
				anything of monetary value, including but not limited to salary or other
				payments for services (e.g., consulting fees or honoraria); equity interests
				(e.g., stocks, stock options, or other ownership interest); and intellectual
				property rights (e.g., patents, copyrights, and royalties). "Investigator"
				means the principal investigator, co principal investigator, and any other
				person at Miami university who is responsible for the design, conduct, or
				reporting of the research or educational activities funded or proposed for
				funding.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) General
(1) In the course of research, teaching, and
			 service activities at Miami university, faculty, staff, and students sometimes
			 create intellectual property which may be protectable by copyright, patent, or
			 other means. Miami university seeks to establish an environment in which the
			 creation of intellectual property is suitably recognized as an academic
			 achievement and in which the benefits of intellectual property to the creators,
			 the university, and the general public are optimized.
(2) It is important that the university and
			 the creators of intellectual property assist each other in identifying,
			 evaluating, and protecting this property. The following policy outlines the
			 procedures for handling of intellectual property in ways which will be
			 beneficial to the creators, the university and the public, and also describes

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
This policy statement is adapted from,
				and affirms, a statement on the subject prepared by the association of american
				universities, August 22, 1988.
(A)
								Introduction
Misconduct in university research
				undermines the research enterprise and is harmful to the university community,
				the research community generally, and the public. Institutions such as Miami
				university have the responsibility not only to promote a research environment
				that opposes such misconduct in research, but also to establish policies and
				procedures that deal effectively with allegations or evidence of misconduct.
				This policy statement deals primarily with the second imperative, and outlines
				Miami university's procedures for handling allegations of
				misconduct.
Miami university's process for
				reviewing allegations of misconduct in research involves three stages as
				specified by federal regulations: inquiry, investigation and resolution. The
				overall principles which guide the institutional review process are as
				follows:
(1)
									Universities have a responsibility to provide vigorous
			 leadership in the pursuit and resolution of all charges of misconduct in
			 research. Universities should take care, however, that the process pursued to
			 resolve allegations of misconduct not damage research itself.
(2)
									Universities
			 should treat all parties with justice and fairness, and be sensitive to the
			 reputations and vulnerabilities of all parties. The process for resolving
			 questions of research misconduct should focus on the substance of the issues;
			 personal conflicts or affiliations between colleagues should not obscure the
			 facts. The integrity of the process should be maintained by avoiding to the
			 greatest extent possible any real or apparent conflict of
			 interest.
(3)
									Procedures should be expeditious, well documented and
			 should preserve the highest attainable degree of confidentiality compatible
			 with an effective and efficient response to questions of research
			 misconduct.
(4)
									Universities should recognize and discharge their
			 responsibilities after resolving allegations of misconduct - internally, to all
			 involved individuals, and externally, to the public, the sponsors of research,
			 the research literature and the research committee.
