4.5.1 Appointment by invitation policy
In exceptional circumstances the Vice-Chancellor may waive the requirement to advertise a position
and make an appointment by invitation.
In these circumstances the following procedures will apply prior to appointment by invitation.
-
The relevant executive dean of faculty, via the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), or head of division
will make a submission to the Vice-Chancellor outlining justification for appointment to be made
by invitation. The Vice-Chancellor may consult with the Human Resources Director regarding the submission.
In the case of appointment as executive dean of faculty, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) will
make a submission to the Vice-Chancellor. In the case of appointment as Deputy Vice-Chancellor or head
of division, the Vice-Chancellor may, following consultation with the Human Resources Director, determine
that appointment by invitation may be considered and document the decision.
A submission will include the curriculum vitae of the proposed candidate, proposed composition
of the appointment panel having regard to the general requirements for constitution of selection
panels (see
B/4.3.1
), the proposed process
for assessment of the candidate, and the exceptional circumstances justifying an appointment by invitation.
Appointment panels will include a member(s) of Council where such membership is required by University
policy on selection panels (see section
B/4.3
).
The proposed process for assessment must be appropriate to the type and level of the position and be
designed to assist the panel to assess the candidate against the selection criteria and requirements
of the position.
-
Where the Vice-Chancellor determines that appointment by invitation may be considered, an appointment
panel will be established. The composition of the panel and the process used to assess the candidate
will be determined by the Vice-Chancellor having regard to the type and level of the position.
-
The appointment panel will make a recommendation to the Vice-Chancellor.
-
The Vice-Chancellor will make a determination on the suitability of the candidate and decide to
approve or decline appointment by invitation. The Vice-Chancellor will report to Council on appointments
made under this provision.
-
All relevant documentation will be held in the Human Resources Department with other information
on the position.
Further information on the process and required documentation is available at the Human Resources website.
