Common use of Open Faculty Positions Clause in Contracts

Open Faculty Positions. When there exists an intent to hire a full-time faculty member for a newly created position or for a vacated existing position, the District shall notify the Association and the unit members about the open position through the campus email system five working days before the position is publicly advertised. Unit members who are interested in a voluntary reassignment into the open position shall notify in writing the appropriate Vice President and the Chief Human Resources Officer of their interest in the position within five working days of the initial email notification. Such requests shall be forwarded to the appropriate area administrator or Department Chairperson. Any requests for reassignment into an open position shall be considered before the position is publicly advertised. Once a position has been publicly advertised, unit members have the same right to apply for a position as any outside candidate, regardless of whether a previous request for reassignment was rejected. However, unit members must meet the same requirements for application, and the minimum qualifications or the equivalent for the position, as all other applicants. However, unit members are not guaranteed the appointment if, in the opinion of the District, an outside candidate possesses more desirable qualifications for the position.
