Where AARP Stood

The Academic Administrator and Academic Coordinator Review Panel (AARP) serves in lieu of the Committee on Academic Personnel (CAP) as the final recommending body for appointments, accelerated merit advancements, promotions, and non-standard cases for the Academic Administrator (AA) and Academic Coordinator (AC) series. 

Below is a summary of AARP's recommendations.


2020-2021 Where AARP Stood

AARP reviewed 16 files for academic year 20-21 and advises departments evaluate files in relation to a candidate’s current job description.  AARP has found that, on occasion, a candidate’s job description is either not available or out of date.  Providing a current job description assists AARP in fairly evaluating files across a very diverse Academic Coordinator and Academic Administrator series.

AARP reminds departments that, “There is no expectation of movement between the levels without significant changes in the scope and complexity of the program being administered.” (APM 375-19c) Departmental proposals for level changes should include clear documentation of significant changes in job descriptions, as appointee performance during the review period is not sufficient justification for such changes.

General Comment:

AARP continues to advocate for revisions to Academic Personnel Policy (PPM) 230-375, Appointment Promotion – Academic Coordinator Series, and continued merit advancement beyond the maximum published salary rate (Above Scale). 


2019-2020 Where AARP Stood

AARP was very impressed with the 25 files it reviewed for academic year 19-20. In reference to file preparation, AARP recommends departments and divisions take the time to provide candidates with guidance on effective ways to convey their accomplishments.  AARP is serious in its charge to promote equitable evaluations and stresses the importance of providing well written personal statements, well-crafted job descriptions, and up to date Biobibs so reviewers can evaluate candidates against the expectations of their position.

AARP reminds departments that, “There is no expectation of movement between the levels without significant changes in the scope and complexity of the program being administered.” (APM 375-19c) Departmental proposals for level changes should include clear documentation of significant changes in job descriptions, as appointee performance during the review period is not sufficient justification for such changes.
