SUBJECT:

Proposed Revisions to Policy and Procedure Manual 230-20, Appointment of Academic Personnel, and Policy and Procedure Manual 230-28, Academic Advancements and Reappointments

I am pleased to submit for formal campus review proposed revisions to UCSD Policy and Procedure Manual (PPM) 230-20, Appointment of Academic Personnel, and PPM 230-28, Academic Advancements and Reappointments. The proposed revised policies are also currently being reviewed by the UC San Diego Academic Senate.

The proposed revised policies and summaries of the revisions are available at: http://academicaffairs.ucsd.edu/aps/policydev/index.html

The proposed draft policies include revisions suggested by the Joint Senate Administration Task Force on the Criteria for Appointment and Advancement in the Adjunct Professor Series, clarification of the criteria for appointment and advancement to Sr. LSOE above the top of the salary range, and addition of the honorary titles, "Distinguished Research Scientist" and "Distinguished Lecturer with Security of Employment." In addition, PPM 230-20 has been updated to reflect recent systemwide revisions related to recall for academic appointees (APM 200 and APM 205).

If you have any comments or questions regarding the proposed revisions to PPM 230-20 and PPM 230-28, please contact Kelly Lindlar, Director of Academic Policy Development, Academic Personnel Services, at klindlar@ucsd.edu no later than January 21, 2013.
