Procedure for Selecting the Head. (i) In the last year of a Head's term, in preparation for issuing a call for applications, the Xxxx will consult with the area’s Standing SAC on the requirements for the position and the release time associated with it. (ii) The Xxxx will invite applications for the position of Head from all eligible B faculty in the area, ensuring the invitation is sent to eligible B faculty sufficiently in advance of the end of the current Head’s term to allow the application process to be completed in a timely manner. (iii) The letter of invitation will set out the requirements for the position established in consultation with the Standing SAC, noting any specific priorities to be addressed, and will outline the provision for release from teaching workload anticipated for the term of appointment. (iv) Applicants shall address in their applications the requirements and priorities set out in the letter of invitation, and provide a CV and any other documentation they individually deem relevant. (v) The Xxxx will forward applications to the Standing SAC who will review the applications and determine the advisability of scheduling presentations; and determine the name or names of candidate(s) to be forwarded to a vote among the eligible members. The vote will be carried out by the Xxxx’x office who will report the total number of votes for each candidate. (vi) Where the vote results in a majority recommendation for any single candidate, the Standing SAC shall formally recommend that candidate to the Xxxx. If the recommendation is accepted by the Xxxx, the recommended candidate shall become the next Head. If the recommendation of the committee is not accepted by the Xxxx, the Standing SAC shall continue meeting in order to recommend another candidate. Should no eligible member of the department be recommended as a result of the continued deliberations of the Standing SAC, the Xxxx will advise the department in writing of this result and appoint an interim Head for a period of one (1) year but not more than two (2) years, depending on the needs of the area in consultation with the Xxxx. A copy of this notice will be provided both to Human Resources and to the FSA. (vii) Where the vote does not result in a majority recommendation for any single candidate, the Xxxx may appoint an interim Head. Interim Head appointments will normally be for a minimum term of one (1) year but not more than two (2) years, depending on the needs of the area in consultation with the Xxxx. (viii) Where the call for applicants results in no applications, the Xxxx will normally reissue the call and, after consultation with the Standing SAC, subsequently determine the need to appoint an interim Head for a period of one (1) year but no more than two (2) years, depending on the needs of the area in consultation with the Xxxx.
