IRVINE: EXECUTIVE VICE CHANCELLOR
April 15, 2005
ACADEMIC DEANS
RE: Redelegation of Authority - Lecturers
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:
Effective July 1, 2005, I am redelegating to Academic Deans the
authority to approve all initial appointments for Lecturers and
for Teachers - Special Programs in your units when the appointees
are identified from an approved search.
Academic Deans will continue to have the authority to approve
reappointment of Lecturers and Teachers -Special Programs, through
the first six years of employment, as long as those reappointments
conform to University and campus policy. You are also authorized
to approve any change to a previously approved appointment after
the employee has been consulted regarding the change.
All post-six year actions, including transition to a Continuing
Appointment and merit increases for appointees with Continuing
Appointments, will continue to require review and approval by
the Executive Vice Chancellor or the Executive Vice Chancellor's
designee.
The pertinent policies are found in the Memorandum of Understanding,
Non-Senate Instructional Unit and in the Academic Personnel Procedures.
Effective with this redelegation, the Dean's office has the responsibility
for:
a. Maintaining records regarding quarters of service for Lecturers.
b. Forwarding copies of appointment, reappointment or change of
appointment forms, along with appropriate supporting documentation,
to Academic Personnel for post-audit.
Academic Personnel will remain the office of record for these
actions.
These authorities may not be further redelegated and supersedes
Executive Vice Chancellor Lillyman's delegation of authority on
the same subject dated December 22, 1998.
