CHAPTER THREE: 3050 EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION CONCERNING FACULTY AND STAFF January 2008
3050 POSITION DESCRIPTIONS PREAMBLE: This section describes the creation and use of position descriptions that define responsibilities for faculty and staff positions. See also section 3140, "Performance Expectations of Faculty." This section was original to the 1979 Handbook; it has been editorially revised at intervals. In July 1998 the year covered by a position description was changed from an academic year to a calendar year. In July 2001 section B underwent some clarifying changes while the form itself underwent extensive revisions. In July 2007 the form underwent substantial revisions to address enforcement and accountability issues in the UI promotion and tenure process as well as align the form with the Strategic Action Plan. Further information may be obtained from the Provost's Office (208-885-6448), the Office of the Faculty Secretary (208-885-6151), or Human Resources (208-885-3609). [rev. 7-98, 7-01, 7-07, ed. 12-06] A. GENERAL. Specific responsibilities of each faculty member are established in position descriptions. These position descriptions serve a variety of important functions; in particular, they constitute the essential frame of reference in annual performance evaluation of faculty members [see 3320 B], and consideration of faculty members for tenure and promotion [see 3520 and 3560]. [rev. 7-98, ed. 7-00, 7-02] B. PROCEDURE.
