Dual Career Hiring
When a faculty member has a spouse who is fully qualified and interested in a university position, a dual career exception to the search process may be made. The department or unit administrator is responsible to contact the Office of the Provost as soon as possible. Hiring a spouse or partner depends upon the qualifications of the spouse or partner, the availability of a suitable and acceptable position in each case, and is subject to the approval of the department or unit into which the spouse or the partner will be hired, following an interview process within that unit.
