The Dean makes the final decisions for all faculty hires. The DSC and Department Chair provide an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of all finalists and recommend acceptable finalists to the Dean. The DSC should ensure that all recommendations are based on established criteria for the position, including applying non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity principles.

The Dean makes the offer of employment for faculty positions and conducts all negotiations. No one other than the Dean should make any promises or assurances to the candidate.

Other steps in the process:

• The DSC calls candidates/interviewees who visited the campus and were not selected for hire
• The DSC sends a notification e-mail to applicants who were not selected for an interview using the CHRS Recruiting system
• Do not communicate specifics regarding non-selection to candidates (e.g., name of finalists, number of applicants, etc.)
• HRIE will notify the Dean when a signed letter of acceptance is received
