The University of Montana–Missoula’s Affirmative Action Plan
requires a good faith effort on the part of all hiring authorities to
correct underutilization in the workforce of women and minorities. The
University normally advertises nationally for permanent academic and administrative
positions in order to gain as large a pool of qualified candidates as
possible, including women and minorities. The Affirmative Action Plan
nonetheless allows for limiting the search in special and exceptional
circumstances.
In addition, the University offers limited promotion opportunities to
University employees for administrative positions if qualified candidates
exist on campus. Departments and programs advertise faculty positions
nationally for a period of at least six weeks, with exceptions allowed
by the Affirmative Action Office for partial FTEs or of limited duration
appointments. Recruitment exceptions for Affirmative Action Appointments
occur occasionally.
If the status of a position changes (an adjunct or visiting faculty position
to tenurable or permanent), a search must occur. Recruitment exceptions
allow for hiring individuals named in grants and for acting administrative
appointments.
