RESOLUTION

 

 

URGING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII BOARD OF REGENTS TO IMPROVE THEIR JOB RECRUITMENT PROCESS BY DEVELOPING POLICIES THAT WILL HELP ENSURE PROPER ADVERTISEMENT OF JOB VACANCIES, TIMELY EVALUATION OF ALL APPLICATIONS AND CANDIDATES, AND PROMPT FILLING OF VACANCIES.

 

 

     WHEREAS, the University of Hawaii Board of Regents policy dealing with recruitment of candidates, referred to as "Board of Regents RP 9.201 Personnel Status", provides broad guidelines for the recruitment of candidates that simply states, "open hiring requirements shall be followed in all cases"; and

 

     WHEREAS, for the University of Hawaii to fulfill its role as the economic engine, center of academic excellence, and research leader in the State of Hawaii it is imperative that it always be fully staffed with well-qualified employees; and

 

     WHEREAS, there are hundreds of job vacancies throughout the University of Hawaii system of four-year and community college campuses at any given time; and

 

     WHEREAS, these job vacancies are not being adequately advertised in a timely and effective manner on the University of Hawaii's human resources website; and

 

     WHEREAS, the applicant evaluation and hiring process is unnecessarily protracted and ineffective; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirtieth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2020, the House of Representatives concurring, that the University of Hawaii Board of Regents is urged to improve their job recruitment process by developing policies that will help ensure job vacancies are advertised, applications and candidates are evaluated with all deliberate speed, and vacancies are promptly filled; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Chair of the Board of Regents and President of the University Hawaii.
