Hiring Proposal Communication
The Search Committee will provide hiring feedback to the Department Chair for review and submission to the College Dean. The Dean will review the hiring feedback and communicate with the Provost regarding the hire via email with a copy to Melinda Compton and Candace Tate. The email should include (1) the recommended candidate’s name, (2) the proposed salary, (3) any proposed special terms of appointment, (4) an attached CV, and (5) the position number assigned to the position. Once the initial offer is approved, the Dean, in consultation with the Provost, will also conduct negotiations for any adjustments to approved compensation and/or special terms of appointment during the offer of employment.
