<p> Replacement Hire Procedures</p><p>4/26/10 </p><p>I. Replacement hiring is defined as the replacement through the approved hiring process of full-time tenure-track faculty who have definitively and permanently separated from their faculty positions. </p><p>II. Beginning in fall semester 2010, replacement hiring will go through the FHPC process together with the requests for new faculty positions. </p><p>III. Prior to distribution of the 2010 faculty position request forms, the FHPC will revise both the request form and the ranking sheet in such a way that replacement positions receive extra ranking points over new positions. The exact amount of extra points and process for awarding them will be determined by the FHPC.</p><p>IV. Replacement hiring positions shall remain within the department, if not the discipline.</p><p>V. Replacement positions shall continue to be categorized as replacements, not new positions, for a period of five years after the original position is vacated.</p><p>VI. In a case where replacement hiring is not immediately possible (as in the case of a hiring freeze or if the discipline is undergoing program viability, for instance), the five- year time limit on replacements does not include the hiring freeze or program viability review period.</p><p>VII. When an emergency replacement is needed, the absent faculty member may be replaced by a long-term sub hired according to the Abbreviated Hiring Procedures outlined in the document, “Policy and Procedures for SFP and ISA Assignments”. </p><p>VIII. The terms of this document are intended to supplement, not supplant, either the AFT contract, Trade-Tech’s existing signed hiring document, or the Senate resolution of May, 2009 (below).</p><p>Senate Resolution re. Replacement Hiring Policy, adopted 5/2009</p><p>“ Action Item – Addendum to Faculty Hiring Procedures – Replacement Policy (noticed motion from April 2009 meeting) There was much discussion, including clarification regarding what is considered a “new “ position. A “new”position was defined as an “expansion” position instead of a “replacement” position. A friendly amendment was accepted so that the new motion read as follows:</p><p>Unless the Faculty Hiring Prioritization Committee recommends otherwise, Administration shall replace vacated faculty positions within one year. If this is not accomplished and more than a year goes by without filling the vacated position, and budget is cited as the sole reason for not replacing the position, the position shall remain on the Replacement Hires list.” </p>
