Appointments are made to the appropriate instructional and research ranks and in the appropriate tenure and non-tenure tracks based upon the requirements of the position being filled, the individual's qualifications, documented recommendations and the approval of the Dean and Executive Committee with the final decision made by the appropriate University officials. Terms and conditions of every appointment will be confirmed in writing with a copy of the notification of appointment supplied to the appointed individual. At the time of the initial appointment, the head of the unit immediately responsible will see that the new staff member is appropriately apprised of the criteria and procedure currently in use in regard to appointment, reappointment or notice of non-reappointment, periodic review and evaluation, and promotion and tenure. The School of Nursing is committed to non-discrimination and equal opportunity in implementing its personnel policies.
