Hiring
For the Academic Enterprise
The BRC is the first step in the process to request hiring part time personnel and for requesting title/rank and salary changes for the remainder of fiscal year 2026. A BRC is required for all part time requests in any funding source (tax levy, IFR, RF, QCF, etc.) prior to initiating ePAFs or moving forward with the next steps in the process for searches, reclassifications, etc. The only exceptions are Instructional Adjunct appointments. Completed templates should be submitted to your respective dean or division head. Once approved, the template will be forwarded to M. Watch, Office of the Provost, for inclusion on the BRC agenda. All requests supported by RF funds should first be reviewed by Poline Papoulis, ORSP, to confirm budget availability. ORSP will forward the template to M. Watch for inclusion on the BRC meeting agenda. BRC dispositions for all requests will be communicated to the appropriate dean or division head. Contact your dean or division head for questions and specifics on the timeline below.
Effective immediately, requests for full time personnel should be submitted on the new Hiring Freeze Justification form which was circulated by the Office of the VPFA. Before this form is submitted, a conversation between the division head and the Provost is required.
Effective July 1, 2026, all full time and part time requests should be submitted on the Hiring Freeze Justification form. All requests should be included on the budget documents submitted by each division head.
Additional information on the Hiring Freeze Justification form and its process will be communicated by the Office of the VPFA.
