Since Christopher Newport University’s decision to move from being an admissions commuter school to a highly selective liberal arts university, the hiring process for new instructional faculty has become more rigorous. According to the Provost Statement on Hiring Credentials there are two major considerations that influence the University’s hiring decisions: the University’s higher status has necessitated a more selective and rigorous hiring process, and any decision to hire a tenure track faculty member will represent an investment for the

University both now and in the future. The provost, with the approval of the president, authorizes all new and replacement fulltime faculty positions and approves for each position. The final approval of candidates to fill such position(s) is made by the president and reported to the Board of Visitors according to Section XIII of the University Handbook 2016-2017 Edition. There are eight types of appointments that the University will make to the instructional faculty: adjunct, temporary, part-time, sponsored research, restricted, probationary, tenured and terminal. The process of recruitment for these new fac-

ulty always starts with a simple question says Shannon Overby, SPHR Director of Faculty Recruitment. She says that there has to always be a need for a new position or a need to refill a position. All of the searches that are conducted are national; this is a requirement under Section XIII of the University Handbook and can only be waived if there are exceptional circumstances.
