Endowed Chair Agreement

Posted on April 9, 2021

On March 15, 1996, the Council of Regents gave the President the power to create and designate foundation chairs. The responsibility of the campus for monitoring the procedures for setting up foundation seats rests with the Office of the Academic Vice-Chancellor. The competent committee of the Academic Senate is consulted by the Academic Vice-Chancellor on the scope and area of expertise of the proposed presidency. The dean of the medical school is responsible for opening the procedure. The Endowed Chairs Office School of Medicine, in the Dean`s office, is the primary source of information and action for the establishment and appointment of foundation seats at the UCSF School of Medicine and is the Dean`s office for all issues related to gifted chairs. Vanessa Tam (502.2754) can ask questions about chair policy. In accordance with the intent of the donation or allocation instrument, a foundation manager chair may support an administrative position such as a department head, an organized research unit director or a dean. The payment of appropriations for an administrative seat is intended to support the teaching, research and services activities of the department, the school or any other organizational entity within the meaning of the gift agreement. A foundation headquarters is supported by the payment of an endowment fund, a fund that serves as a foundation, gift or annual allocation. The payment of these revenues is made available to the Chairholder to support his teaching, research and/or services activities. Unless the power donation or allocation instrument has been expressly prohibited, a foundation executive chair may make a payment in support of the basic salary of the exercise and other salary elements of a chair holder (X and Y). The Clerk or Applicant reviews the conditions of the chairs authorized to the foundation at least every five years and takes appropriate steps to ensure that the university meets its legal obligation to make full use of seat distributions in accordance with the gift or allocation instrument. School guidelines and procedures apply to foundation headquarters and foundation teachers, including respected teachers.

For simplicity`s sake, all these facilities are collectively called “equipped chairs.” If we distinguish the types of chairs (for example. B level of funding), these are recorded in the procedures. A current apprenticeship position at the university is a prerequisite for the appointment and continuation of a foundation chair. After the end of the term, resignation, resignation/retirement or non-foundation mandate, the arrest of the faculty member returns to a temporary position in the department/school of the place of establishment. The unit is responsible for the faculty member`s salary from the date of termination and the donated funds that supported the foundation`s authorized seat return to a foundation account until a new holder is appointed. Subject to the donor`s agreement and on the recommendation of the Registrar, the President is authorized to disfigure, in consultation with the Commissioner-General, a foundation seat if: a) the department is no longer compatible with the University`s mission; or b) the seat of the foundation remains vacant for a period of three years and the clerk, after consultation with the dean and the chair of the relevant department, finds that there is no likelihood of filling the chair.
