Section 13. Appeals for Administrative Faculty on Personnel Matters
- 13.1 Right to Request Reconsideration. Administrative faculty members have the right to request reconsideration of personnel actions denying salary increases, promotion or reappointment in accordance with the Nevada System of Higher Education Code (see Chapter 5, Section 5.2.4). (Salary increases include merit awards.)
- 13.2 Notice of, Request for Reasons, and Reconsideration of Personnel Action Denying Salary Increase or Promotion. Each Administrative faculty member denied a salary increase, reappointment, or promotion must be notified of such decision in writing within 15 calendar days of the decision. (B/R 3/03)
- 13.2.1 Written Request for Reasons of Denial. A Administrative faculty member who has been denied a salary increase, reappointment, or promotion may, within 15 calendar days after notification of such denial, provide a written request to the department chair, supervisor or dean who rendered the negative decision asking for a statement in writing of the reasons for the denial. The response must be received by the Administrative faculty member within 15 calendar days after the appropriate administrator receives the written request for reasons. (See Nevada System of Higher Education Code, Chapter 5, Section 5.2.3.)
- 13.2.2 Reconsideration of Denial. Within 15 calendar days after the receipt of the written reasons for the denial of salary increase, reappointment, or promotion, a Administrative faculty member may request reconsideration of such denial. The request shall be submitted to the faculty member's supervisor together with the reasons, arguments and documentation supporting the request for reconsideration. The request for reconsideration shall be promptly directed through regular channels with recommendations from each administrative level for or against reconsideration of the decision. Final action shall be taken within a reasonable time by the president after receipt of the recommendations. If the president decides to recommend promotion to Rank III or Rank IV, the final decision must be made by the Board of Regents. Except for denial of reappointment, if the denial is not reversed after reconsideration, the faculty member may petition the Faculty Senate Grievance Committee (UNLV Bylaws, Chapter I, Section 4.6.6 and Chapter III, Section 20.)
