Academic Appointments Policy

The Portable Document Format College of Liberal Arts Collegiate Plan for Implementation of the Administrative Policy on Academic Appointments establishes the standards and procedures for appointments of individuals who will have teaching functions within CLA. The Collegiate Plan was approved centrally on April 30, 2002.

The University-wide Administrative Policy on Academic Appointments was approved in May 2001.

These Portable Document Format guidelines will help to identify a job's major responsibilities. The resulting job description can be used as a basis for defining job duties and selection criteria for a requisition, writing performance standards, and/or evaluating employee performance.
