Re-Hiring
An Individual Previously Terminated
From Employment by WCU
As a general
rule, applicants will not be considered for employment if they previously
were terminated from employment at Western Carolina University. Exceptions
to the general rule may be granted as described below.
No employment
applicant who has been terminated from WCU may be rehired without
an approved re-hire justification signed by the hiring vice chancellor.*
No justification may be approved until the hiring vice chancellor
discusses the applicant with the head of the unit that terminated
the applicant's previous employment. The justification, approved or
disapproved, must be made a part of the applicant's file.
For SPA applicants,
the Office of Human Resources will notify hiring units whenever
a job applicant has previously been terminated from a position at
WCU. The re-hire justification must be forwarded by the department
head of the hiring unit to the appropriate vice chancellor.
For faculty
applicants, the search committee must check with the Office of Academic
Affairs before making a recommendation, to determine whether the
applicant had been terminated earlier by WCU. If the applicant was
terminated, a re-hire justification must be forwarded through the
appropriate dean or librarian to the Vice Chancellor for Academic
Affairs. This applies to, but is not limited to, tenure-track faculty
who are denied either reappointment or tenure.
For EPA non-faculty
applicants, the recommending authority must check with the Office
of Human Resources to determine whether the applicant had been terminated
earlier by WCU. The re-hire justification must be forwarded by the
department head of the hiring unit to the appropriate vice chancellor.
*For applicants
in the Chancellor's Division, substitute "chancellor" for
"vice chancellor" whenever the latter appears.
