5.2 Internal Applicants

In external searches in which there is an internal applicant(s) (whether internal to the hiring unit or to the University), applicant files must not be made accessible to that person(s). The internal applicant(s) will not attend any activity, presentation, or interview for any other applicant. In no instance should the internal candidate vote or decide who is to be interviewed or offered the position. If tenure deliberations are an element of the hiring decision, an internal candidate(s) waives his or her right to participate in those deliberations regarding other candidates.
