Re:  Issuance of Revised CAPM 602.330, Specialist Series

Dear Colleagues:

I write to issue the revised campus academic personnel policy, CAPM 602.330, Specialist Series. The revised policy is effective July 1, 2016.

The issuance of this revised policy brings the campus into conformance with APM 330, Specialist Series, including clarifications of the definition, criteria, and qualifications for appointment and advancement in this series. 

Since the new APM revises the criteria for appointment and advancement in this series, the campus implementation of the revised CAPM will include grandfathering in current appointees in the Specialist series. Advancement for these employees will be based on review and normal progression of years of service at rank and step and will not require the new educational and experiential qualifications for advancement in rank. However, the evaluation of these individuals for advancement will be based on the revised criteria.

Please direct any questions regarding this revised policy to Nancy Furber, Academic Personnel, furber@ucsc.edu). 

                                                                                    Sincerely,

                                                                                    Alison Galloway
                                                                                    Campus Provost and
                                                                                    Executive Vice Chancellor
