Subject: Forward Funding Model for Partner Hires
Dear Colleagues:
In response to your concerns that partner appointments continue to present unanticipated financial difficulties for your resource planning, I am pleased to formalize a new funding method for this type of recruitment. Under this new structure, partner hires will be accompanied by a flexible level of forward funding to cover the base salary and help alleviate the resource burden created by accommodating the unexpected initial recruitment. The terms governing this resource framework are outlined in the enclosed document.
The procedure for requesting a partner hire will continue to follow the current process governing the waiver of open recruitment for senate faculty recruitments. Although the importance of partner hires is recognized, waivers of open recruitment should continue to be rare and well justified lest equity issues arise.
Sincerely,
Lori Kletzer, Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
