POLICY:

For the purpose of personnel administration, all employees of the University are considered to be grouped in three broad classifications: faculty and administrative officers, administrative classified personnel, and non-administrative classified personnel.

Faculty and Administrative Officers - This group consists of the corps of instruction and the administrative officers of the University.

The corps of instruction has been defined in the Policies of the Board of Regents to include full-time professors, associate professors, assistant professors, instructors, special lecturers, and teaching personnel with such other titles as have been approved by the Board. Full-time research and extension personnel and duly certified librarians are included in the corps of instruction on the basis of comparable training.

Administrative officers are defined to include:

• President
• Vice Presidents
• Deans
• Directors, administrative and academic
• Department Heads
• Other positions specifically designated by the President

Administrative Classified Personnel - This group consists of those individuals occupying positions described in the University's Manual of Classification Specifications for Administrative Classified Personnel.

Non-administrative Classified Personnel - This group consists of those individuals occupying positions described in the University's Manual of Classifications for Non-Administrative Personnel.

Position classification

To provide a basis for a compensation plan to assist in administering wages and salaries for positions other than faculty and administrative officers in the University, a position classification plan has been developed and adopted.

The classification of positions is the grouping together of those positions which consist of similar duties, have approximately the same levels of complexity and responsibility, require similar training and experience at the time of recruitment, and may be compensated by the same general levels of pay.

Classification specifications - Details of the classification specifications utilized by the University are available upon request to the Office of Human Resources.
