Faculty Transfer: Difference between revisions

Faculty members at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) are hired into a designated academic unit as defined by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents Policies to include college, program, department, center, institute or school (see RP 2.6.1A). This organizational “home” serves as the unit of record for the primary faculty appointment, and provides the resources, opportunities, and infrastructure for career development and advancement. Administratively, it serves to initiate and manage all employment related activities (e.g., personnel actions, leave and sabbatical requests, promotion and tenure requests/reviews, salary recommendations, etc.).  

This document describes central principles associated with and provides guidance for, the transfer of a faculty member between academic units. Faculty transfer refers to the relocation of a faculty member from one academic unit to a different academic unit, upon the voluntary request of the faculty member. A formal transfer process can allow for uninterrupted employment, and the maintenance of employment rights, privileges and responsibilities. Faculty transfers resulting from closure of an academic unit, whether for financial exigency or organizational restructuring, are addressed in University of Nebraska Board of Regents Bylaws 4.7.1, 4.11, and 4.12.
