Interviewing and Recommending Candidates

1. Recommendations on appointments below the rank of professor are normally made without consultation with the Office of Academic Affairs except that there should be formal approval of the amount of the salary offered by means of the "Academic Appointment Authorization Request Form." Authorization of an official offer will not be made until there has been approval of affirmative action compliance.
2. It is understood that the department head will consult with the appropriate tenured staff before recommending a candidate for employment and that the candidate will be interviewed by the staff members and the dean.
3. It is understood that the department head will seek information regarding the candidate directly from his/her last employer and if the candidate has not been previously employed the department head will seek information, preferably by telephone, from the candidate's graduate department head or dean.
4. It is understood that all recommendations for employment are subject to approval by the President.
