Tandem Appointments
Specific work sites, circumstances or job responsibilities (e.g., grants) may warrant the hiring of tandem teams. Tandem team appointments must receive prior approval of the appropriate Vice President:
(1) A tandem team is defined as a group of two or more individuals working together in a department or on a project toward specific objectives (e.g., grant) and does not refer to job-splitting appointments. In tandem teams the combined qualifications of the individuals who make up the team shall be used in the determination of employment decisions.
(2) Nothing in this policy should be construed to deny any member of a tandem team equal opportunity in University employment, provided the appointment has been based upon open competition and merit, and other members of the team have not unduly influenced the selection process.
