UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN

RE: Redelegation of Authority - Academic Actions for Librarians

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 the University Librarian authority to approve the following academic actions for Librarians:

1. Initial appointments, temporary appointments, and recall appointments.
   
2. Promotions, merit increases (including advancement to Librarian, Step V), accelerated actions, awarding of Career Status, and No Actions.
   
3. One-year deferral of normal review, upon written request of Librarian.
   
4. Leaves of absence without salary for one year or less.
   
5. Terminations and non-reappointments.

All academic actions must conform to within University and campus policy as well as policy set out in the Memorandum of Understanding, University Federation of Librarians. These actions require appropriate review and must be consistent with the published salary scales. You are reminded that appointments are to be made only after an open and competitive search has been conducted and you have received an approved academic affirmative action search statement.

Authority for the following remains in my office:

1. Any exceptions to policy.
   
2. Effective dates other than July 1.
   
3. Retroactive actions that are approved more than thirty-one calendar days after the effective date.

The Office of Academic Personnel will remain the office of record for these actions. The University Librarian will, therefore, forward all appropriate supporting documentation for personnel actions to the Office of Academic Personnel for the purpose of post-audit and record maintenance.

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