By policy, certain academic titles/ranks require Board of Regents’ approval before the individual can begin work. Before each Board meeting, the Office of Academic Personnel submits for the Board’s consideration a report of new academic appointments requiring Board approval. Units should process these appointments so that they are in the Academic HR Workday queue at least 23 calendar days prior to the Board of Regents meeting preceding the appointment start date.
