Re:       *Academic Hires Campus Implementation Effective January 1, 2025*


On December 12, 2024 I partnered with our Chief Human Resources Officer,
Alex Najera, to send out an initial campus communication about California
State laws that require all job applicants to disclose any final
administrative or judicial decisions issued within the last seven years
related to misconduct.  The purpose of this communication is to provide
more details on how the campus will implement the requirements of the laws
(SB 791 and AB 810) as they apply to *candidates* for academic employee
positions (including graduate students).

A key component of implementing the laws is a misconduct questionnaire that
final choice candidates must fill out.  A vendor will be deployed in the
new year to assist with collecting the necessary misconduct questionnaire
responses. Until we have a vendor in place, the hiring department will
provide final candidates a link to a Qualtrics Survey Platform which will
route responses directly to APO. Once the final candidate is cleared for
hire, the hiring department will be notified to proceed with the hire.

Academic recruitments who received an offer letter or employment letter
prior to January 1, 2025 are not subject to completing the Misconduct
Disclosure Questionnaire.

For additional detailed information, please refer to the following
resources which are included as attachments.

·         Misconduct and Background Check Guidelines For Academic
Hires (*includes
the link to Qualtrics Survey*)

·         FAQs: Misconduct Disclosure Requirements for Proposed Hires Under
California SB 791 and AB 810 to address common questions and concerns
related to the misconduct disclosure requirement and institutional
reference check.

If there are additional questions which are not addressed in these
resources, please send questions to academicpersonnel at ucr.edu.



Sincerely,
