HR Update

Hiring Updates

As previously communicated in the “End of COVID Public Health Emergency” email, campuses, colleges, and units will no longer need to submit a request for approval to hire independent contractors and engage current temporary agency arrangements, nor will OHR need to approve any hires.

For Twin Cities campus faculty tenure-track and tenured positions, please work with your dean to submit an annual hiring plan for tenure-track and tenured faculty to the Provost’s Office by the start of each academic year. The plan should describe the positions the college intends to fill, confirm the college has a budget for the new hires, and provide a short justification for each position.

If, over the course of the year, the hiring plan changes, colleges can submit an updated plan for the Provost’s approval. Non-tenure stream positions do not need to be submitted for approval. Please reach out to Associate Vice Provost Ole Gram with questions.

Other system campuses: please follow tenure-track hiring guidance as provided by your chancellor.
