Hiring Prioritization Criteria: The list of positions open due to retirement/resignation (8 from 2021-22, 16 from Service Employee Retirement Plan, 4 from 2021-22) has been updated and was shown. Nursing positions will be automatically replaced per decision of IPBT 2020-21. Further discussion is needed to explore ways to grow the divisions especially new divisions. Currently only positions vacated through 2020-21 retirements/resignations, 2021-22 retirements/resignations, and SERP positions are being considered. Christina reiterated the list is not the final list since each division dean in consultation with faculty in their area will decide what departments will request the allotted position(s). Timeline is to conclude prioritization before December College Council meeting. However, exact number of positions hired is to be determined pending amount of money from State and then allocation between campuses and lastly allocation between administrative services, instruction, and student services.

The starting point for hiring prioritization will be the workbook developed 2020-21 and the associated qualitative criteria. There will be discussion around any specific wording/rewording next meeting.
