RE: New and Revised Academic Personnel Policies
The Office of the President has issued the following new or revised Academic Personnel Policies:
- Revised Academic Personnel Policy 220-18-b(4)
Criteria for Advancement to Professor, Step VI, and to Professor, Above Scale, has been issued effective September 2, 2008 for implementation no later than July 1, 2009. The revised policy seeks to strengthen and provide greater guidance on requirements for advancement, to provide greater understanding of the distinction between the criteria for advancement to Step VI and Above Scale, and to bring the policy in line with campus practices. The revised policy can be found online at: http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/apm-220.pdf
- APM-220-85-b (Professor Series)
APM-220-80-e was incorrectly referenced in this section. The text was corrected to reflect the appropriate policy reference, APM-220-80-g. The revised policy can be found online at: http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/apm-220.pdf
- APM-335-10-a (Cooperative Extension Advisor Series)
The educational requirement has been deleted from APM-335-10-a, making the criteria for Cooperative Extension Advisors consistent with criteria for Specialists in Cooperative Extension (APM-334-10-a). The revised policy can be found online at: http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/apm-335.pdf
- APM-740-11-c (Leaves of Absences/Sabbatical Leaves)
The following titles have been added to the list of titles that are eligible to qualify for sabbatical leave service: Laboratory Director, Deputy Laboratory Director, and Associate Laboratory Director. The revised policy can be found online at: http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/apm-740.pdf
- APM-350 (Postgraduate Research (e.g. Physicist))
APM-350 is rescinded on the basis that the policy has been rendered obsolete by the provisions of APM-390 (issued July 1, 2003).
Campus Personnel Officers in each School have been notified separately of these policy changes. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact me or other staff in the Academic Personnel Office.
