RE: Redelegation of Authority - Academic Appointments of Graduate Students

Authority for academic personnel actions was delegated to the Executive Vice Chancellor by the Chancellor in his delegation of authority, dated July 3, 2000. I am redelegating part of that authority to you, as specified below:

I am delegating to Academic Deans and Directors of Organized Research Units the authority to make academic appointments, reappointments, and changes in percent time for graduate students in the following titles:

Authority for other matters related to graduate student employment (such as childbearing, sick leave, early termination, or employment related grievances) will remain with the Dean of Graduate Studies.

Appointees must meet the criteria established for the appointment, and appointments must be consistent with applicable academic policies and procedures, including those set out in the Academic Personnel Manual, Sections 410, 415, and 420 and in the Memorandum of Understanding, Academic Student Employee Unit. Any exceptions to policy must be approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies prior to approval of the appointment.

These exceptions include the following:

This authority may not be redelegated further, and supersedes Executive Vice Chancellor Lillyman's delegation of authority on the same subject, dated July 14, 2000.

Michael R. Gottfredson
Executive Vice Chancellor
