Who should negotiate with the candidate?
Negotiations between a department and a candidate should be conducted by the chair of the department (or director of a center, program, or institute) after consultation with the Dean of the Faculty or Associate Dean of the Faculty. The role of the chair of the search committee ends once the candidates have been ranked, except in an advisory capacity to the chair or director. If the chair or director is unavailable during the period of negotiation, he or she should designate one individual to negotiate in his or her stead.
