Purpose
To ensure that there is broad awareness and input in decisions that affect hiring for campus leadership positions, typically at the level of Associate Dean or Director and higher.
Background
During the accreditation process, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) commended the campus practice of broad, cross-campus inclusion in decision-making, in general, and specifically, in the hiring process for upper-level administrators. To ensure this innovative aspect of the campus was institutionalized, and not subject to subsequent changes in campus leadership, they recommended creating a policy that formalized this cross-campus collaboration. The Academic Senate of the CSU also passed a resolution calling for campuses to adopt policies ensuring faculty participation on MPP search committees (AS-2699-05/FA - May 5-6, 2005; Title 5 CA Code of Regulations, § 42723; Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA) Title 5)
