Nevada’s education board OKs proposals affecting how employees are fired, transferred
The state’s higher education board on Friday approved a pair of contentious proposals that affect the way employees at Nevada’s colleges are fired and transferred between schools.
One proposal gives the chancellor of the Nevada System of Higher Education the authority to transfer administrators between NSHE colleges without their consent. The chancellor must first explain why he or she is making the transfer to the affected employee and the presidents of the colleges affected — one of several conditions added to the initial policy after faculty and staff decried the proposal during the board’s most recent regular meeting in December.
“I worry about leaving it out there as a blanket statement that it’s OK for the chancellor to be involved in this way all the time,” said Regent Sam Lieberman, one of two board members who rejected the proposal. Regent Mark Doubrava cast the second dissenting vote.
Regent Trevor Hayes said he was puzzled by criticism against the policy, which he said goes “above and beyond” to ensure employees don’t lose their jobs in the event of position transfers.
