Position Base Review
The Office of the Vice President for Planning, Policy, and Budget has budgetary position control responsibility for the staff position base. Primary responsibility for the faculty position base resides in Academic Affairs. During the course of a fiscal year, actions may occur which result in permanent changes to the university faculty and staff position base. All permanent changes to both the faculty and staff position bases require approval by the President.
Faculty Position Base
Academic Affairs maintains an active, approved list of budgeted faculty positions reflecting any permanent changes made during the year. The Office of the Vice President for Planning, Policy, and Budget works closely with Academic Affairs to verify the revised faculty position base budget.
Staff Position Base
The Office of the Vice President for Planning, Policy, and Budget will provide information regarding base budgeted staff positions to the vice presidents for review and verification. The information will reflect all approved position actions affecting the permanent base (through the issuance date). All budgeted fringe benefit expenditures are viewed as a component of the compensation cost of each budgeted position based upon the complement of benefits applicable under current policies. It should be noted that the salary component of any vacant position is budgeted at the base rate established by the Office of Human Resources unless otherwise requested in writing by the appropriate provost/vice president.
