Effective with the 2023-2024 academic review cycle, I am delegating to the deans the authority to approve the following actions for Academic Coordinator Titles and Academic Administrator Series:
- Initial appointment, providing the individual was identified following an approved search or an approved search waiver.
- All merit increases, including all cases recommending acceleration.
- Reappointment only.
- If the department proposes a reappointment only, then the dean has the delegated authority to decide for, or against, it. A dean’s decision not to grant a merit increase or a promotion, would result in a delegated decision for Reappointment.
- All promotions, including all cases recommending acceleration.
- All merit increases, reappointments and promotions should have an effective date of July 1.
- Leaves of absence with salary up to 30 days or without salary up to one year.
All actions you approve must be consistent with current systemwide and campus policies and must be reported to the Office of Academic Personnel within 30 days of approval. The Office of Academic Personnel will serve as the office of record for all delegated actions.
The authority for the following actions for Academic Coordinator Titles and Academic Administrator series will remain in my office:
- All exceptions to policy and any other actions not specifically included in this redelegation.
This authority may be delegated to one senior academic administrator.
If you have questions related to the Academic Coordinator Titles, APM 375, or Academic Administrator Series, APM 370, please contact your assigned academic personnel analysts.
Sincerely,
Diane K. O’Dowd
Vice Provost for Academic Personnel
