Revisions to University Policy 6.6.1, Filling Vacancies (Excluding Bargaining Unit Staff)

The University Policy Office (UPO) announces the issuance of revisions to University Policy 6.6.1, Filling Vacancies (Excluding Bargaining Unit Staff).

This revised policy now applies to academic as well as nonacademic vacancies and has been streamlined for clarity. In addition, it puts additional decision-making authority at the unit level, and seeks to achieve the following: 

• Reduce administrative burden.
• Provide more flexibility for individual and position movement internal to Cornell.
• Preserve and highlight Cornell’s commitment to diversity recruitment throughout the organization.
• Integrate the most current compliance requirements established by federal and state government agencies and law.  

Please take some time to review this revised policy. Direct questions about this policy to your local human resources representative.
