Appointment Procedures
Staff positions to be filled, except for the Presidency, shall be defined by the appointing officer and publicly announced. Applications shall be submitted to the appointing officer. Normally, after the written applications have been considered, the best qualified candidates will be interviewed. The appointing officer shall acknowledge applications and notify all candidates of the final disposition of their applications. The appointment procedures will be in accordance with the non-discriminatory policy of the College. (See DISCRIMINATIONs, and SEXUAL HARASSMENT, sections of this Handbook.)
Nepotism
Marlboro College will not prohibit the employment of spouses or other relatives in the same department or administrative unit, provided that neither spouse nor other relative participates in making recommendations or decisions affecting appointment, retention, tenure, work assignments, promotion, demotion, or salary of the other spouse or relative, and provided that no preferential policy toward spouses or relatives shall be used to deny equal opportunity.
When a spouse is in a position to affect employment, Marlboro College should shift employment responsibility to someone other than the spouse, so that the qualified individual can be hired on his or her own merit.
