Common use of Equivalencies Clause in Contracts

Equivalencies. 8.1 Every faculty employment application shall include a form which applicants can utilize to describe the exceptional experiences, backgrounds or degrees which would be equivalent to the stated degree requirements. On the form, the applicant must indicate why she/he thinks she/he has the equivalent to the exact degree(s) or experience that is stated in the minimum qualifications. It is the applicant’s responsibility to provide the completed employment application form and the necessary documentation. 8.2 The Academic Senate at each campus shall maintain within its structure a standing committee for the purpose of determining the validity of equivalency petitions. 8.3 In assessing the appropriateness of an equivalency petition, the college’s Academic Senate equivalency process should determine if the applicant possesses qualifications that are at least equivalent to the minimum qualifications specified by the State Chancellor’s Office. (California Code Regulations, Title 5 Section 53430.) The determination of equivalencies that meet the minimum standard will occur through a detailed review of the equivalency petition as outlined by that college’s Academic Senate equivalency process. 8.4 Upon this review, a written statement of approval or denial of the equivalency petition shall be included with the employment application. If an equivalency petition is formally approved, the candidate shall remain in the select pool. If an equivalency petition is formally denied, the applicant’s file will cease to be part of the select pool, and will be forwarded by the Interview Selection Committee to the District Human Resources Office. The Interview Selection Committee chair will monitor the progress of the Academic Senate equivalency review process to ensure that the process is completed in a timely manner.
