The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application,
and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University
programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other
demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of
academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like
to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting
the finalists’ current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would
violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty
positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application.
If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be
considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants
for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would
like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference
checks.
