I.  Purpose

To provide the policy/procedure for the review of positions prior to recruitment and hiring.

II.  Objectives

A. To effectively manage personnel resources.
B. To analyze University structure and its evolving personnel needs.
C. To consider financial impact of personnel and fringe benefit costs.
D. To restrict complement growth as much as possible.

III.  Policy

The Executive Council will review and recommend the filling of all faculty and administrative and new support staff positions.  The final approval for filling such positions will come from the President.  Human Resources will maintain a file to include copies of the approvals to fill positions.

As existing support staff positions become vacant and are to be filled at the same classification, approval to fill these positions will rest with the affected administrative officer.

Human Resources has classification authority for support staff positions and can recommend proper use of positions and distribution of duties.
