Academic Personnel Office
MISSION
STATEMENT
It is the goal of the Academic Personnel Office to
provide service to administrators and faculty by way of
training, by acting as a resource for information and
policy interpretation, and to guide administrators in
the implementation of policies that impact upon the
appointment and advancement of academic personnel. The
University has a complex review procedure to build
and
maintain its excellent faculty. This review mechanism is
designed to ensure that individuals are judged by their
colleagues in accordance with fair procedures solely on
the basis of professional qualification in matters of
appointment and advancement.
The Academic
Personnel Office believes that the dissemination of
information, through on-going training to those
individuals directly responsible, empowers those
individuals to act in accordance with proscribed
policies based on their knowledge and understanding.
