Policy on Recruitment Expenses

Recruitment costs for faculty and administrative searches for permanently funded tenured or tenure-track positions within the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, up to a maximum of $10,000, will be allocated 50% to the hiring unit and 50% to the divisions. The division portions will be funded based upon the apportionment of the position FTE. Any expenses above $10,000 will be the responsibility of the hiring unit.

Recruitment costs include all advertising and interview related expenses incurred during the search process. Approval to exceed the maximum amount specified must be acquired in advance from a Dean or the Vice Chancellor.

Recruitment expenses for non-tenure track positions, including research professors, extension professors and professors of practice are the responsibility of the unit unless other arrangements are negotiated with the cognizant dean(s) in advance.
