Amount of time a state job is required to be listed for

[osumed14]

My best friend is an AD at another university here in Arkansas and I thought I remembered on one of his previous fire/hire situations that there was an official length of time any state job had to be listed for before you could make an official hire, even if you have your guy?  Anyone know for sure on this?  I have a text to him about it but he is out of town right now and just thought about it last night.

And I have not even asked him about who he is hearing on the AD side of things but he definitely knew about Long several days before it happened so it was at least well known in the AD circles for almost a week I bielieve it was before it happened.

certain jobs are exempt from posting requirements, like AD, head coaches, president of the university, etc where posting those jobs given the small pool of potential applicants and specialized skill sets required would making posting those jobs impractical.

pretty sure coach position exempt from things like advertising the position interviews time etc

All they'd have to do is ask Long for a waiver of the required time period so they can rush the hire......

Ask who?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the next AD we have didn't play volleyball.

Why would they ask someone that is no longer employed by the university?

[NaturalStateReb]

University jobs are different from state government jobs, so you've got different rules there.  It probably doesn't have to be advertised.

Y'all totally missed the point....

This thread is required to have at least 1 post like the one you quoted according to the message board rules.

UA policy states that all positions up to the Dean/Vice President/Director level must be advertised for a period of time (10 days? can't recall.. was reading it the other day).

However this requirement can be waived in exigent circumstances by the Chancellor or by the UA system president.

This is correct. Two weeks (10 working days) is the norm unless the waiver process is utilized.

And performing the due diligence by way of a search committee is an appropriate deviation for a job like AD--particularly given that requiring public applications for such a position would restrict the pool of qualified candidates as most of the best candidates will only consent to a confidential process. The search committee has to cross all the 't's so that their documentation of the process can be produced to show that it was fair and complies with various requirements (diversity, etc).
