The following policies have been issued by the Office of the President. 
After inserting these sections in Volume 1 of your department's
Academic Personnel Manual, please post this transmittal notice or route
it to persons who should be aware of policy in these areas.

If any pages are missing from this transmittal, contact Irene Fecht,
Chancellor's Office (ilfecht@ucdavis.edu or 752-9745).  Questions
regarding policy or procedure may be directed to the Office of the
Provost, 752-2070.

1.  TRANSMITTED:  APM 110, Academic Personnel Definitions (pages 1-10),
    dated 7/1/96.

    SUPERSEDED:  APM 110, Academic Appointee/Definition, dated 10/1/85.

    PURPOSE:  Provides definitions of terms for uniformity and
    consistency in usage throughout the University.  Most definitions
    derive from the APM, and the wording has been updated or clarified;
    terms not contained in the APM were reconstructed from policy
    files, correspondence, and other sources.

2.  TRANSMITTED:  APM 240, Deans and Provosts, pages 1-3, dated 8/22/96.

    SUPERSEDED:  APM 240, pages 1-3, 11/18/85.

    PURPOSE:  Permits Chancellor to appoint deans and provosts and to
    make acting appointments in these titles.  Salary authority is
    established in the new Personnel Policies for Staff Members: 
    Appendix II, Personnel Policies for Senior Managers.  For acting
    deans and acting provosts, the Chancellor may approve academic-year
    or fiscal-year salaries up to the Regental compensation threshold
    (currently $150,000, to be indexed annually in accordance with the
    Consumer Price Index).  Salaries at or greater than the
    compensation threshold continue to require Regental approval.

The following policies reflect technical changes to appointment
descriptions and remove references to compulsory retirement.  The
phrases "9-month" and "11-month" have been replaced with "academic-
year" and "fiscal-year" as set out in APM 110, Academic Personnel
Definitions.  Additionally, references to compulsory retirement for
faculty in APM Sections 200-21(a) and (b) and 220-24(d) have been
deleted, as they are longer applicable.  The effective date for these
changes is July 1, 1996.  Instructions for updating your department's
manual are provided on the attached list from the Office of the
President (APM Revision 18).
