University of California Procedure for Appointment of Chancellors

The President of the University will conduct a continuous search for promising candidates for Chancellorships. This process is included as an important complement to the systematic, nationwide search which will be undertaken each time a vacancy occurs.

When a vacancy occurs or is imminent, a Committee will be appointed to advise the President. The Committee will consist of (a) five Regents appointed by the Chairman of the Board, (b) five faculty members appointed by the President from a panel submitted by the campus Academic Senate Committee on Committees, (c) a graduate student and an undergraduate student appointed by the respective graduate and undergraduate student associations of the campus, (d) an alumni representative appointed by the alumni association of the campus, (e) a representative appointed by the foundation affiliated with the campus, and (f) a staff employee of the campus selected in accordance with procedures established by the President. In addition, The Chairman of the Board and the President will serve on the committee and the President will serve as chair.

The President of the University will submit to the Committee for evaluation not less than five nor more than fifteen names of candidates whom the President considers promising. The Committee will evaluate these nominations of the President and may consider or suggest other names. It may interview candidates. It will solicit the opinions of interested groups in whatever manner it considers appropriate.

Both the Committee and the President shall be mindful of the University's firm commitment to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action in seeking the most qualified candidates.

After the President has been advised by the Committee of its evaluation of the candidates, the President will make a recommendation to The Regents for appointment.
