Academic Staff Policies & Procedures

UWPA 13
ACADEMIC STAFF RECRUITING POLICIES AND PROCEDURE

13.01 INTRODUCTION. All Academic Staff positions shall be recruited consistent with UW System, the UW-Parkside Search and Screen Handbook, and State/Federal laws with respect to equal employment opportunities.

13.02 SEARCH COMMITTEE FOR ACADEMIC STAFF POSITIONS. The campus governance groups (University Committee, Academic Staff Committee, and the Parkside Student Government Association) shall be contacted and asked to submit two or more names of potential search and screen committee members. From this pool of names, for non-instructional academic staff positions, the appropriate senior administrator forms a committee of between 5-10 members, which must include faculty, academic staff, students and selects a chair to head the committee.

For Instructional Academic Staff positions, the search committee will be formed according to Faculty Search and Screen guidelines with at least one voting member of the committee being an Academic Staff member appointed by the Academic Staff Committee. The Academic Staff Committee strongly endorses the appointment of students to all Instructional Academic Staff search committees.

The Academic Staff Committee believes it is important to have minority representation on search committees. Further, the Academic Staff Committee endorses the encouragement of minority student involvement on these committees. The Academic Staff Committee encourages search committees to include at least two students and to request minority representation.

Approved by the Academic Staff Committee, October 12, 1982, and Revised June 9, 1986, March 7, 1991, December 3, 1998, April 1, 1999.
