Summary

Trustees approved comprehensive personnel actions including faculty and librarian appointments, 28 faculty reappointments, multiple sabbaticals, managerial and professional staff hires, and emeriti/emerita designations for several longtime faculty members.

At its April 9 meeting the Montclair State University Board of Trustees approved a package of personnel actions that included faculty and librarian appointments, promotion and reappointment lists, sabbatical leaves and emeriti designations.

Ms. Shelia Rostiac, reporting for the Human Capital Committee, moved that the Board approve the personnel slate. The minutes list: assistant/associate teaching professor appointments (including Jhoniel Santiago effective 8/28/26), multiple librarian Research & Instruction hires, 28 faculty reappointments for AY2026–27, 28 sabbaticals, five professor emeriti/emerita designations (including Ann Marie DiLorenzo, Marsha Grant-Ford, Jessica S. Henry, John J. Siekierka, and Kenneth E. Sumner), and numerous managerial and professional staff appointments. The motion was seconded and approved.

The minutes include position titles, effective dates and degree credentials for many appointees and note funding sources where indicated (gift- or grant-funded roles marked in the list). Where effective dates or funding annotations are not provided for particular positions, the minutes record the entry as presented.

The Board’s approvals allow the university to implement hiring, reappointments and leaves as described; the minutes do not record individual roll-call votes but state motions were approved by the Board.
