Common use of NTT HIRING SEARCHES Clause in Contracts

NTT HIRING SEARCHES. Montana State University is committed, both in principle and by State and Federal regulations, to open and inclusive hiring practices. To facilitate NTT faculty appointments, hiring authorities are generally required to select NTT faculty appointees from a hiring pool. Applications are received and reviewed at the department level. Any exception to hiring from a pool requires approval from the Xxxxxxx. To encourage participation, all hiring pools are publicly advertised for each pool cycle. Hiring pools are maintained for two-year cycles; all applications meeting minimum qualification received at any point in that cycle will be retained for the remainder of the current cycle. At the end of the cycle, all current applications will be purged. Current NTT faculty members must maintain an application in the appropriate pool(s) in order to be considered for appointment. While there is no automatic reappointment of NTT faculty on semester or AY appointments, program continuity and faculty experience at MSU are among the considerations that hiring authorities take into account when making hiring decisions. Current NTT faculty may make their intentions known during their annual review as to whether they wish to be considered for ongoing employment in the upcoming year, but will still be expected to maintain an application in the current hiring pool cycle and to resubmit to the pool after the two-year period has expired.
