JESUIT
HIRING
POLICY
St.
Louis
University
is
a
Catholic,
Jesuit
institution
of
higher
education.
The
University
is
governed
as
an
independent
corporate
entity
of
the
State
of
Missouri,
conducted
under
the
auspices,
and
consonant
with
the
educational
principles,
of
the
Society
of
Jesus.
As
an
educational
institution
with
Jesuit
orientation,
sponsorship
and
support,
the
University
may
treat
Jesuits
as
a
preferred
group
with
regard
to
employment.
See
Sec.
703(e)(2)
of
Title
VII
and
41
C.F.R.
Sec.
60-1-5(5).
To
preserve
the
existing
relationship
between
the
University
and
the
Jesuits,
the
University
may
grant
preferences
in
its
employment
practices
to
Jesuits
to
perform
any
work
connected
with
its
activities.
The
Jesuit
Hiring
Policy
of
Saint
Louis
University
applies
both
to
the
full-time
employment
of
Jesuits
during
an
ordinary
search
in
competition
with
other
applicants
and
to
the
hiring
of
Jesuits
for
positions
where
no
announced
opening
exists
but
where,
with
the
approval
of
the
University
President,
a
new
position
could
be
created
for
that
individual
which
would
be
of
significant
benefit
to
the
University.
The
policy
also
applies
to
part-time
appointments.
SCOPE
This
policy
applies
to
all
divisions
of
Saint
Louis
University.
PROCEDURE
Each
year
the
Association
of
Jesuit
Colleges
and
Universities
provides
to
the
President
of
the
University
a
listing
of
Jesuits
who
will
be
available
in
future
years
for
positions
in
higher
education.
The
President
indicates
his
general
approval
of
the
candidates
by
forwarding
the
list
to
the
Vice
President
for
Mission
and
Ministry,
Vice
President
for
Human
Resources,
and
Provost,
and
this
candidate
information
is,
in
turn,
shared
with
units
that
might
employ
those
listed.
If
a
unit
becomes
aware
of
a
potential
candidate
through
other
avenues,
the
Dean
or
Program
Director
should
immediately
notify
the
Provost
or
respective
vice
president.
No
candidate
may
be
brought
to
campus
for
an
interview
without
the
Dean
or
program
director
having
first
received
approval
through
the
Provost
or
VP
and
from
the
Vice
President
for
Mission
and
Ministry,
who
will
secure
permission
from
the
President.
The
Vice
President
for
Mission
and
Ministry
can
be
a
source
of
additional
information
about
the
candidate,
and
must
be
included
in
the
interviews
of
all
prospective
Jesuit
candidates
The
Vice
President
for
Mission
and
Ministry
will
also
inform
the
candidate
of
the
possible
community
living
options,
with
the
understanding
that
only
the
Provincial
can
mission
him
to
the
University
and
to
a
Jesuit
community.
The
following
financial
arrangements
apply
to
all
campus
visits
and
hires:
- Recruitment
expenses
are
borne
by
the
unit
that
invites
the
candidate
to
campus.
- In
the
case
of
full-time
appointments,
and
with
the
President’s
approval,
the
Marchetti
Fund
will
provide
support
for
a
successful
candidate’s
first-year
salary
and
benefits.
- The
Provost
or
Vice
President
in
whose
area
the
faculty
member
will
be
working
is
responsible
for
moving
expenses.
-
-
When
the
Marchetti
Fund
is
used
to
create
a
position,
the
individual’s
salary
becomes
part
of
the
base
departmental
or
program
budget
after
the
Jesuit’s
first
year
of
full-time
employment
at
the
University.
These
funds
remain
in
the
base
only
as
long
as
the
individual
remains
in
the
department
as
a
Jesuit
in
good
standing.
The
standard
Human
Resource
and
Budget
office
procedures
will
be
followed
to
add
persons
to
the
payroll.
