ARTICLE 5 – JOB POSTING
Section 1.
Certain positions that would be in the bargaining unit if filled by a Harvard student are filled in the following manner:
- To fulfill a commitment of support made to a Harvard student at the time of admission; or
- As part of an existing or past teaching, research, or advisor/advisee relationship between a faculty member and a candidate for a position.
In cases where such positions are not filled in the aforementioned manner they will be considered “open positions” and the University encourages, but does not require, employing units to post open positions on the central website described below. Nothing in this article prohibits an employing unit from advertising an open position in a location other than the common central website. The University encourages, but does not require, employing units to hire Harvard students over other candidates.
Section 2.
Within a reasonable amount of time which shall not exceed one (1) year after the effective date of this Agreement, absent extraordinary circumstances, the University agrees to develop a common central website to host open positions as defined above. The University will issue periodic notices to employing units informing them of the website location and posting process.
Section 3.
When posting an open position, the employing unit will specify whether the posting will be open for a specified period of time (e.g., 14 calendar days) or an unspecified period of time (e.g., until filled).
