Library Personnel Committee votes to repost opening and disclose applicant names
Summary
The committee voted April 2 to repost an open library position, decline current candidates and require postings to state that applicant names will be public after legal counsel said confidentiality was not available.
The Library Personnel Committee voted April 2 to repost an open library position and to disclose the names of applicants in future postings, the committee said at a meeting in Admin Building Room 112.
Jim Holcomb, chair of the committee, called the meeting to order at 10:37 a.m. and noted members Joanna Daniels, Kayley Wilson and Jackie Wilber were present; Erika Grammer was absent. After an invocation by Wilson, the committee removed the Feb. 18 minutes from the agenda because a recording of that meeting was missing and IT is being consulted to recover it.
During the Old Business discussion, Holcomb said legal counsel advised there was no way to keep applicant names confidential. He also reported that one applicant had withdrawn from the process, leaving three remaining candidates. Following discussion, Joanna Daniels moved to repost the position and not hire any of the current candidates; Holcomb seconded. The motion passed with Daniels and Holcomb voting yes, Jackie Wilber voting no and Kayley Wilson abstaining.
Daniels then moved a related motion to repost the vacancy under the established hiring policy and to include language in the recruitment posting that applicant names will be made public; Wilson seconded. That motion passed unanimously.
The committee concluded its business with a unanimous motion to adjourn. The minutes record the committee’s decisions but do not specify a timeline for reposting the position or next steps for applicant review.
