Whereas: Administrators have been appointed to their positions through “in-house promotions” over the last several years; and  

Whereas: None of those positions were “opened to all qualified candidates within the District” before the appointments; and  

Whereas: Title V 53021, section b, stipulates that “for ‘in-house promotions’ the (administrative) position must be opened to all qualified candidates within the District” except in seven specific situations, none of which apply to the administrators/positions in question; and  

Whereas: Such a practice denies the Faculty its legitimate role in helping choose administrators; and  

Whereas: Such a practice denies qualified candidates within the District their right to apply for such positions and gives an unfair advantage to the appointee; and  

Whereas: The Faculty Senate in fall 2018 passed a resolution calling on the District to follow Board Policy 7120; and  

Whereas: The lack of condemnation of such practices may be read as an endorsement of said practices;  

Be it Resolved that: The Faculty Senate calls upon the administration to acknowledge errors made when appointing administrators in such a manner; and  

Be it Further Resolved that: The Faculty Senate calls upon the administration to commit itself to conducting future administrative hires in compliance with Title V and AP 7120 guidelines.
