Salary Range Exceptions
In cases where the salary for a new appointment will exceed salary guidelines, the requesting department/unit head should submit to Faculty Affairs:
- A cover letter detailing why the salary is appropriate given 1.) the salary structure for similar appointments in the department / unit, and 2.) the appointee's credentials and responsibilities;
- For non-tenure track faculty appointments, a copy of the proposed appointment agreement defining the appointee's duties / responsibilities;
- The appointee's CV;
- Other documents, as appropriate, to support the discussion in the cover letter.
Waiver of Credential Requirement
When requesting a waiver of a policy-based credential requirement, the department/unit head should submit to Faculty Affairs:
- A cover letter explaining why, given the department's/unit's structure and needs, the appointee's professional experience and academic background warrants an exception to the credential requirement;
- A copy of the proposed appointment agreement defining the appointee's duties / responsibilities;
- The appointee's CV;
- Other documents, as appropriate, to support the discussion in the cover letter.
