APPOINTMENT PROCEDURES FOR SENIOR ACADEMIC

AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY

A. INTRODUCTION

The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario Act (1982) empowers the Board of Governors, on the recommendation of the President, to appoint senior academic and administrative officers to the University, provided that all such appointments are in accordance with the policies and procedures established by Senate and recommended to the Board.

B. GENERAL

Selection Committees

The composition and terms of reference for Selection Committees, as determined by the Senate and Board of Governors, are set out in these Appointment Procedures for Senior Academic and Administrative Officers of the University.

Academic Tenure and Senior Appointments

1. Where appropriate, a person appointed to a senior administrative position shall also be accorded an academic appointment. The Selection Committee shall recommend the appointment of the successful candidate at an appropriate rank with tenure in an appropriate academic unit.

2. A person appointed to an administrative position with an academic appointment shall retain the privileges of tenure and academic freedom.

3. Where a person holding an academic appointment with tenure relinquishes his/her administrative duties, he/she may assume duties in the academic unit on a full-time basis following Study Leave (where relevant).

C. RULES FOR THE OPERATION OF SELECTION COMMITTEES

The Committee

1. Wherever possible, the appropriate Selection Committee shall be established at least twelve months, but no more than twenty months, prior to the end of any term of office.

2. Where a body, such as the Board of Governors, Senate, Faculty, or Department is responsible for the election of persons to a Selection Committee, that body shall determine the method of electing its representatives.

3. Following the first meeting of the Selection Committee, the Chair shall notify the Secretary of Senate of the names of the members of the Committee for the information of Senate.

4. The incumbent shall not be a member of the Selection Committee for any office, but this restriction in no way precludes a selection Committee from seeking the advice of the person retiring from the office in question.

5. The composition of a Selection Committee in no way precludes the appointment of a person not associated with the University as a full voting member of any Selection Committee. If such a person is not appointed to a Selection Committee, it is strongly urged that the Committee seek outside advice.

6. Where a member of a Selection Committee consents to be a candidate for the position under consideration, he/she shall cease to be a member of the Committee.

7. Where a member of a Selection Committee ceases to be a member of the Committee for any reason, a successor shall be chosen in the same manner as the person withdrawing, unless in the judgment of the Committee Chair the selection process is so far advanced that a new appointment to the Committee would be dysfunctional, in which case the seat shall remain vacant.

8. A member of a Selection Committee by virtue of his/her office shall remain a member of that Committee until such time as the task of the Committee is completed, provided that he/she remains a member of the University. In instances where an ex officio member is unable to act, Senate shall appoint an alternate member to exercise the same functions, unless in the judgment of the Committee Chair the selection process is so far advanced that a new appointment to the Committee would be dysfunctional, in which case the seat shall remain vacant.

9. All Selection Committees shall meet in camera and their deliberations shall be strictly confidential.

10. One-half of the membership of the Committees shall constitute a quorum, except at a meeting when a final decision is reached, in which case at least two-thirds of the members must be present.

11. All members of the Selection Committee shall have one vote, including the Chair and ex officio members, but the Chair shall not have a second or casting vote.

12. The Selection Committee may seek nominations by whatever means it considers appropriate.

13. The Selection Committee may consult with any person who is not a member of the Committee and, where appropriate, with special groups of faculty, alumni, and students.

14. The Selection Committee may invite to the University for formal consultation eminent persons not associated with the University but who, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, are in a position to offer wise, expert advice on the appointment in question.

Review of the Incumbent

15. The Committee will assume the incumbent to be a candidate unless the Selection Committee is informed otherwise.

16. When the incumbent has indicated willingness to be a candidate, the Selection Committee will first review the incumbent's performance, with a view to possible reappointment.

a. In the case of selection of Deans, this review shall involve an assessment by external consultants.

b. The Selection Committee will inform the University community that a review of the incumbent will be conducted and invite submissions, as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

17. After it reviews the performance of the incumbent, the Committee will determine whether it will recommend reappointment of the incumbent or conduct a search and interview other candidates.

Advertisement of Vacancies

18. Except when the Selection Committee recommends reappointment of the incumbent, all senior administrative openings must be advertised internally and externally unless the Selection Committee concerned deems that external advertising is unnecessary and obtains approval from the President to that effect. In those instances where advertising is required, placement of external advertising in "University Affairs" and /or "CAUT Bulletin" will be the responsibility of the Chair of the Selection Committee following the approval of the Provost & Vice-President (Academic). Internal advertising will be the responsibility of the Office of the Provost & Vice-President (Academic). A short version of the ad will appear in 澳门六合彩开奖预测 News and the complete ad will be available on the University's Website.

Selection

19.The decision of the Selection Committee shall be determined by a majority vote of the whole Committee.

20. The University officer negotiating with the prospective appointee shall make known to him/her any policy with respect to the term of the appointment and any collective agreement which may apply to the successful candidate. At the time a formal offer of appointment is made, the University officer shall inform the candidate of the term of the appointment and relevant policies, in writing.

21. The Selection Committee shall recommend one name to the President & Vice-Chancellor. Where the Selection Committee fails to reach a decision, it shall report to Senate for further instructions.

D. STUDY LEAVE and MODIFIED ALTERNATIVE WORKLOAD

1. The purpose of Study Leave and Modified Alternative Workload is to re-establish a faculty member's abilities as a scholar and teacher following a period of administrative service which has been of such length and intensity that his/her scholarship and teaching might have suffered.

a. Study Leave may be taken while holding a senior administrative appointment, subject to the provisions of this Section D.

b. Modified Alternative Workload, consistent with the UWOFA Collective Agreement, may be agreed to at the conclusion of administrative service.

2. Only those senior administrators holding academic appointments are eligible for Study Leave.

3. Study Leave/Modified Alternative Workload shall be negotiated with the selected candidate at the time of the appointment. The duration and terms of the Study Leave shall be included in the letter of appointment.

4. In no circumstances may the Study Leave/Modified Alternative Workload be more than twelve months duration.
