OHR 2007-028A - Criminal Background Checks under HCM 8.9 for Certain Adjunct Faculty and Clinical Adjunct Faculty

In April 2007, memorandum “OHR 2007-023: Criminal Background Checks for Adjunct and Clinical Adjunct Faculty” was distributed.   It provided guidance regarding protocol to follow when determining when to – or not to – request criminal background checks for prospective adjunct faculty and clinical adjunct faculty members.  After HCM 8.9 implementation on July 5, Departments will continue to be responsible for determining when an adjunct faculty or clinical adjunct faculty member should undergo criminal background checks.   

After July 5, if a background check is not desired, Departments will complete and send a paper “Adjunct or Clinical Adjunct Faculty Appointment Form: Not Requiring Background/Sanction Checks” to OHR instead of using the electronic Person of Interest Request Form in HCM 8.9.  The paper form will be available at http://www.uthscsa.edu/hr/forms.htm on July 5.   NOTE:  If the HCM 8.9 electronic POI Request Form is used, a workflow email will automatically notify UT Police to run background checks. 

Please refer to previous memoranda, OHR 2007-023: Criminal Background Checks for Adjunct and Clinical Adjunct Faculty and OHR 2007-28: Person Model for detailed information.  They are available in the OHR Communication archive here: http://www.uthscsa.edu/hr/comms.htm .

Please contact OHR at 567-2600 should you have any questions.  Thank you.
