Section 8-B210. EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS: GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

210.1In order to allow the President to appoint highly qualified and experienced executive talent to senior administrative positions, as well as to provide flexibility in making top administrative appointments, the President is authorized to make executive appointments to designated positions in the Educational Service, in accordance with the provisions of §§ 210 through 212 subject to the provisions of this title and applicable law.

 

210.2Except as required under § 212, an executive appointment may be made on a noncompetitive basis. Each executive appointee shall be qualified based on job description submitted by the President and approved by the Executive Committee for the position to which he or she is appointed.  The Executive Committee shall also review the qualifications of the appointee being considered prior to the appointment being made.

 

210.3Executive appointments are "at will" appointments and executive appointees shall serve at the pleasure of the President. A person serving under an executive appointment shall not have any job tenure or protection in that position. An executive appointment may be terminated at any time without appeal or right to compensation.

 

210.4A University employee who is a permanent incumbent and who is serving in a position designated to be filled by executive appointment shall retain all the rights and benefits of his or her permanent employment status and shall not be converted to an executive appointment.  However, once the incumbent vacates the position (due to reassignment, resignation, or other reason), the person subsequently appointed to fill the position shall be subject to the executive appointment provisions of this section.

 

210.5The President shall not enter into any agreements with interim/acting executive appointees that grant tenure or right of employment in any faculty, administrative or other University position unless such person holds permanent or tenured faculty rank at the University or approved by the Executive Committee.
