Planning for a Search

Overview

The Provost carries the responsibility of authorizing schools and University Institutes and Centers (UICs) to conduct searches for the appointment of regular rank faculty. Deans and, in special cases, Institute Directors have the responsibility of authorizing searches for non-regular rank faculty.

As of November 14, 2025 and until further notice, all requests for new faculty positions exceeding the minimum dollar amount, both regular rank and non-regular rank, require approval from the Office of the Provost.
