<li class="x_MsoNormal" style="color:black"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">All candidates should be informed that U Arizona has a robust spousal accommodation program at the time of campus interview, and encouraged to share the spouse’s resume to the Dept Head
/ Chair / Director asap after the interview, if relevant. (No other questions or comments should be made, except in response to open information sharing by the candidate.)</span></li><li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">The process for spousal accommodations should be managed by deans’ offices, and not by unit heads / chairs / directors.</span></li><li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">The spousal hire accommodation should not be referenced in the primary hire’s offer letter, or vice versa; separate and independent offer letters should be generated for each spouse.</span></li><li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">The spousal hire should not be described as a non-competitive hire.</span></li><li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">Spousal accommodations may arise either at the time of hiring, or in the years that follow, but should be treated similarly as a retention tool for valuable talent regardless of timing.</span></li><li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">We will try to avoid placing spouses in the same department, to the extent possible, to avoid COIs.</span></li><li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">Generic rule for salary support for the spouse, for 3 years: 1/3 provost, 1/3 primary hiring unit, 1/3 spousal accepting unit.</span></li></ol>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:#1F497D">S</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">pace: there will be times where we should / must list assigned spaces in offer letters. Such space assignments should always carry an explicit
review at some time in the future (perhaps 5 years for a new TT faculty member, for example). The costs to renovate space for new faculty should however not appear in the offer letter, but instead be handled by MOUs between the responsible fiscal entities.
<i>It is always the institution’s responsibility to provide reasonable space for new hires to work in effectively.</i></span><i></i></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">This guidance complements, and does not change or affect in anyway, our existing practices of respecting and adhering to each unit’s faculty governance mores and norms for hiring colleagues including interview
practices, assigning appropriate academic rank and property right status recommendation. This guidance does not usurp or abate in any way the unit head’s responsibility and authority to decide for fit and priority within their unit, nor the associate deans’
and/ CES director’s responsibility and authority to oversee strategy and priority within their mission areas, nor my overall fiduciary responsibility for the best interests of our enterprise.</span></p>
