It is the policy of the University to appoint Managerial staff of the highest quality who have experience and extensive knowledge of their discipline. Managerial employees are unclassified staff who are not members of a bargaining unit.

Unless otherwise expressly stated in a written appointment to a position or in a written contract of employment duly approved and executed by the University, employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement are employed “at will.” The University is authorized to discharge at-will employees at any time, with or without cause, and without prior notice.

If in the judgment of the President there is a need to fill a vacancy, the President may make an interim appointment through the use of a search waiver, pending approval of the appointment by the Board of Trustees at its next scheduled meeting.
