FOR
NON-CLASSIFIED STAFF AND FACULTY
Policy
#99-02
Effective
Date: July 1, 1999
Advertising
for position vacancies must receive prior approval from the Affirmative Action
Office (AAO), signified by approval of the Job Requisition Form.
The
Job Requisition Form lists the duties, responsibilities and qualifications
according to the position description. The
advertisement for the position must include the qualifications section of the
Job Requisition Form. Copies of any
announcements or advertisements sent by the department must be on file in the
AAO and have received prior approval from the Affirmative Action Office.
The
AAO is available to assist in the development of recruitment efforts by
providing general information on appropriate resources and special guidance for
the recruitment of women and minorities. The
search committee is ultimately responsible for seeking out appropriate
professional organizations, e-mail lists, associations, etc., that specifically
serve professionals with an emphasis on members of under-represented groups.
The
following statement must be included in all advertisements:
“The
University of Rhode Island is an AA/EEO employer and values diversity."
Funding
for personnel advertisement costs is as follows:
1.
By State
law, all advertising for auxiliary-funded positions must be charged to the
appropriate auxiliary enterprise (i.e., Memorial Union, Dining, etc.).
2.
For
positions sponsored with restricted funds (grants, private money, etc.), the
account supporting the position will be charged for advertising costs.
3.
All
Ledger 3 and overhead accounts must incur the advertising costs for their
position searches.
4.
Advertising
for State funded (Ledger 2) positions will be budgeted in a central account.
The Human Resources Office is responsible for administering this program.
Expenditures for all costs incurred for the approved advertising plan
will be charged to this central account. Charges
for advertisements (which must receive approval of content and display) beyond
the approved advertising plan will be the responsibility of the department
budget. These advertisements will
not be placed until an appropriate account number has been provided.
