Tenure Track Faculty Recruitment Authorization
The Office of Faculty Affairs and the Office of the Provost coordinate approvals for faculty searches in the annual tenured/tenure-track (TTT) Faculty Recruitment Process.听 This approval process begins in early June when the Provost鈥檚 Office sends an e-mail requesting units to complete their TTT faculty recruitment reports and plans.听 Units鈥 reports and plans are due back to the Provost鈥檚 office in mid-July for review by the Provost.听 Shortly thereafter, units are sent an e-mail with the Provost鈥檚 approval, which serves as official notification to proceed with their TTT faculty search processes for the upcoming recruiting season.听 The first step in the process is submission of the completed on-line Faculty Recruitment Authorization Form.听 Units are required to complete one form for each individual search.听 Once the Faculty Recruitment Authorization Form receives final approval, units work with Human Resources to initiate the search plan, job posting and recruitment through Avature (campus applicant tracking system). 听听
