I. Purpose

The purpose of this section is to outline UCD policy and procedures for appointment of academic personnel (professorial series and equivalent). This section augments Section UCD-220A, Academic Review Process--General Policy and Procedures.

II. Affirmative Action Policy

Procedures for academic appointments are governed by the provisions of affirmative action policy set forth in Section UCD-500, Academic Recruitment Guidelines. These guidelines are intended to integrate affirmative action into regular recruiting procedures for academic positions. Departments and recruiting/search committees are expected to make every effort to seek a diversified pool of candidates that includes women, persons of color, and persons with disabilities. Each academic recruitment must be undertaken with a full and open recognition of the need to maintain the high standards of the University of California.
