Provost

5.19 Assignment of Faculty Offices

Faculty offices that become available are assigned on the basis of seniority as a full-time faculty member at UHV, regardless of rank or title. An office becomes available any time a faculty member is moving out of it for any reason. Faculty members may not trade offices without reference to seniority or without clearance through the Office of the Provost. In practice this policy applies primarily to the preferred offices--first, those with windows and second, those that are larger. The seniority list will be consulted when one of these offices becomes available. The person with the highest seniority who wants it may request it.

Other offices will be assigned as they become available to new faculty members or current faculty who wish to move. In either case, faculty members shall inform the Office of the Provost. The seniority list will apply as need be. Requests, assignments, and signage are handled by the Office of the Provost in consultation with college deans.
