About The Position

The Honors College respectfully requests approval for a non-competitive emergency hire of Christopher Chaves as a Temporary Part-Time Faculty member for the upcoming semester. Dr. Chaves will be teaching UHON 301-002 Empathy, Reason, and Our Socio-Literary Influences (3 credit hours) at a proposed base salary of $5,858.28. Dr. Chaves fully meets both the minimum and preferred qualifications for this position. This emergency hire is necessary because the course is fully enrolled and scheduled to begin in fewer than 15 days, leaving insufficient time to conduct a standard competitive search without disrupting student schedules. Dr. Chaves developed the curriculum for this Honors College course, ensuring immediate instructional readiness with minimal preparation time. While Dr. Chaves teaches at the College of Arts & Sciences, he has developed this class for the Honors College. The honors college administration was recently advised that a distinct faculty position is required for him to teach this section. Given the imminent start of the term and high student enrollment, we appreciate your prompt review and approval of this emergency appointment.
