Faculty and Adjunct Recruitment Approval Flows, Reimagined! |
|
|
What has changed on the Approval Flows? |
In partnership with Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, the Human Resources team and Finance Strategy & Operations team are excited to announce improvements to our approval workflows designed to streamline processes and support faster turnaround times.
|
Faculty Job Requisitions
Hiring requests for faculty positions will now move through fewer approval steps. By reducing the number of required approvals by 50%, departments can submit requisitions more efficiently while still maintaining necessary oversight. Key leaders and offices will continue to receive FYI notifications, ensuring they remain informed while allowing searches to move forward more quickly.
Please note: If the requisition involves a grant, the ORSP office will also be included in approvals.

Old Process vs. New Streamlined Job Requisition Approval Flow |
| Approver/Role | Former Process | New Streamlined Process |
|---|
| Department Level Approval | Required Approval | Required Approval | | Operations Level Approval | Required Approval | Required Approval | | Vice Provost, Faculty Affairs | N/A | Notification Only | | EVPAA/Provost Office | Required Approval | Notification Only | | Budget Office | Required Approval | Notification Only |
|
|

Faculty Job Offers
The approval process for faculty job offers has been significantly streamlined. Required approvals have been reduced by 50%, allowing offers to move forward much more quickly once a hiring decision has been made. Leadership and key administrative offices will still receive FYI notifications, ensuring they remain informed while helping departments remain competitive when extending offers to candidates.

Adjunct Job Requisitions
The process for initiating adjunct hiring has also been simplified. Required approvals have been reduced by 33%, helping departments submit requisitions with fewer administrative steps while maintaining appropriate review. Leaders and relevant offices will continue to receive FYI notifications, providing visibility into hiring activity while enabling departments to respond more efficiently to instructional needs.
Please note: If the requisition involves a grant, the ORSP office will also be included in approvals.
