Administrative Decision Policies

All faculty, principal and staff positions should be filled through open recruitment methods either through Human Resources or through Equal Opportunity Programs' (EOP) search procedures unless the unusual or term nature of the position requires an administrative decision.

Administrative decisions ar enot used to employ persons on a temporary basis but rather are warranted only by:

  • Special emergency need
  • Change in organizational structure and/or position requirements
  • Interdepartmental promotion
  • And in rare cases, when the job requires such unusual skills, training, or education, it could   not be reasonably expected that a person with such unique qualifications could be employed by open recruitment

Classification, job description and salary should be discussed with the Compensation Department (7-7617) before completing the Administrative Decsion process.

Non-Faculty open recruitment is now done through Human Resources' Electronic Recruiting System (ERS) and Administrative Decisions are now processed online, through the ERS Administrative Decision Requisition.

Faculty Administrative Decision Process Instructions

Non-Faculty Administrative Decision Process:

1. Complete the online Administrative Decision Requisition, using the appropriate ERS logon userid and password. <Administrative Decision Requisition Documentation>

2. Please communicate to your candidate they are required to sign into ERS and complete their profile by submitting their resume and e-mail address, and completing the EEO Form. This allows the candiate to receive automatic e-links about the status of their hire and enables EOP to review the candidate's experience and qualifications for the position.

3. EOP will e-link the approved Administration Decision Requisition to Compensation, where the final processing takes place.

4. EOP will communicate with the creator of the requisition when the process is complete.
