The following list of documents constitutes what we refer to as the “Standard Order” of paperwork required for an initial tenure track appointment for review and approval through appropriate administrative channels. This list relates to and is partially duplicated by the document titled “Dossier: Format for Tenure Track or Tenured Faculty Review.” However, the guidelines below include other administrative documents and forms which in total comprise the appointment package but are not a substantive part of the faculty committee review process.
Supporting documents are required for the following appointments:
** This is a required step to be completed at the Department and/or School/Division for all employees in a Healthcare Environment. Documentation specific to this requirement need not be attached to the ConnectCarolina action unless requested by appointing School/Division. **
The Department of Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) establishes policy and procedures to support the University’s overall mission, which includes maintaining a safe environment; ensuring regulatory compliance; and recognizing and controlling health and safety hazards.
For the purpose of meeting EHS requirements, “employees in a Healthcare Environment” applies to those employees whose position requires that they enter facilities where patient care is provided, whether in a patient care area or in an administration wing. As stated in the Conditions of Employment, employees in a Healthcare Environment are required to comply with the University’s Department of Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) policies and procedures regarding vaccines, medical surveillance or other required safety training within the first 10 days of your employment. Questions about which positions are impacted by this policy should be directed to the appropriate School/Division.
The Department and/or School/Division are responsible for ensuring this requirement is met. It is encouraged that a Department and/or School/Division with positions affected by this policy develop a process to have candidates complete this form during final selection of the recruitment process in order to ensure requirements have been met within the first 10 days of employment.
Questions about policy requirements should be directed to EHS (that office telephone number is (919) 962-5507 and more information is available on their website at http://ehs.unc.edu/manuals/).
Important Note: CVs should not include age, date of birth, marital status, or social security number (SSN). These items are not relevant and should always be omitted from the CV.
A minimum of four letters of evaluation which may come from individuals with whom the candidate has worked are required, normally all four from outside the institution. Ideally, all of the letters should come from research universities (RU/VH) with very high research activity).
If more than four are received, include all. (mark with tab)
For Tenured Appointments
A minimum of four letters of evaluation are required: all four from outside the institution, all from individuals independent of the candidate, two from a list provided by the candidate and two from individuals selected by the Department Chair or Dean, as appropriate. Ideally, all of the letters should come from research universities (RU/VH) with very high research activity).
If more than four are received, include all. (mark with tab)
Following consultation with the Dean’s Council, the Chancellor’s Cabinet, the Executive Committee of the Faculty Council, and the Board of Trustees, the University has adopted a policy which will implement pre-appointment criminal conviction checks for all newly appointed members of the faculty effective July 1, 2007. These checks will be conducted only at the time of a faculty member’s initial appointment and not for currently appointed members of the faculty nor at the time an existing faculty member is reappointed or promoted.
These checks are intended to assure that we do not appoint individuals to faculty positions with prior criminal convictions who pose an unacceptable risk to the University or its employees, students, and visitors. The newly implemented faculty check is identical to what has long been conducted for all new SHRA and EHRA Non-Faculty hires.
