Hello to all

The staffing committee will meet this Spring semester with the purpose of developing a recommendation list for new RFP hires that may be posted during the Fall semester 2003 with a new hire

start date of Fall 2004. The Committee needs to have its recommendations to President Christiansen such that he has sufficient time to forward a recommendation for new RFP lines to

the Chancellor by May 1st. The Chancellor will release the new RFP lines to the Colleges early in the Fall semester, 2003. At that time, Colleges may begin to post the new positions.

The Spring staffing calendar, Request Justification Form, and Evaluation Criteria are attached. Department Chair presentations will be made from 3PM to 6PM on Wednesday, April 2^nd (CTL Conference Room) and Friday, April 4^th (Library - LB205).

Please contact Colleen Norris, Business Department Secretary, at

extension 1-7711 to reserve a presentation time. (First come – First served)

Several reminders.

· The request justification forms are due by 4 PM, Monday, March 24^th. Requests not received by this date, will not be considered by the committee. Transmission by email is preferred.

· The presentation format will consist of brief opening comments by each chair followed by a question and answer period. Each presentation will be limited to 10 minutes.

· The request justification form is divided into response blocks. Please confine your responses to the appropriate box. Additional information will not be considered by the committee.

· Because we are now planning for hire dates for the Fall semester, 2004, please take care that your requests reflect the strategic needs of your division/department.

· Use Fall highpoint data, rather than Spring, so the year-to-year trend analysis is consistent. Should you require a copy of the Fall 2002 data package, contact Ms. Andrea Greene (1-7215).

If you have any questions concerning the forms, criteria or process, please contact me at 1-7196.
