Personnel Decisions
Revised by PBC on October 1, 2025
The College uses Program Review as evidence for justifying new and replacement positions. Faculty, staff and administrators are able to use Program Review and other evidence to propose positions, however it is not mandatory that new positions be identified in program review in order to be considered within the following processes. Three distinct processes exist: (1) for new positions, (2) for vacancy replacements , and (3) for externally funded and other temporary positions. All three processes involve consultation with participatory governance bodies and culminate in recommendations to the President.
Each fall semester, the PBC creates a master list of all new, non-temporary, position proposals on their Personnel Request Process website. The Academic and Classified Senates prioritize the positions within their purview and then recommend those prioritized lists to the President by December of each year. PBC gathers feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of each position proposal and documents them on the Personnel Request Process website in order to inform the Senates' prioritization decisions as well as those of the President. The President consults this master list whenever funding becomes available for new positions.
