Ohio Admin. Code 3339-1-07
The policies that govern the terms and conditions of employment of the unclassified administrative staff and classified staff are subject to approval by the president.
Tenure is a method of assuring academic freedom; that is, the freedom to teach, to inquire, to create, to debate, to question, and to dissent. Tenure represents a long-term financial commitment to the extent allowable under the laws of the state of Ohio. Miami has no specified or implied limits on the percentage of the instructional staff who may be granted tenure. Each candidate for tenure is judged individually, not relative to other candidates. If an individual demonstrates the high quality of professional performance expected by Miami, tenure will be conferred, regardless of how many other candidates may be considered in a given year. However, it is not anticipated that all individuals appointed to tenurable ranks will be able to demonstrate the high quality of professional performance required to achieve tenured status.
The board retains full authority for policies that govern the terms and conditions of employment and tenure of the faculty.
The board authorizes the president and the provost, within the budgetary resources of the university, to employ and set compensation for members of the instructional staff and unclassified administrative staff employed in academic affairs.
The board designates the president and the senior vice president for finance and business services as the appointing authority to employ and set compensation for members of the unclassified administrative staff, classified staff and law enforcement officers within the budgetary resources of the university.
