As part of an effort to ensure long-term financial stability across the University of California system, President Drake announced several planned efforts, including a systemwide hiring freeze. In a follow-up message to the UC ANR community, Vice President Glenda Humiston clarified how UC ANR is working to maintain financial stability and implement the systemwide hiring freeze locally.
We understand this raises questions about ongoing recruitments and current staffing needs. Human Resources is committed to providing you support during this period and are available to discuss workforce needs including interim staffing strategies and workload management if necessary.
All positions are subject to the hiring freeze, with exceptions for:
- Positions approved through position management process prior to April 1, 2025
- Positions approved as part of the 2023-24 academic position call process
- Positions fully funded by a contract or grant
Please note that all other centrally funded positions that were approved in the 2024-25 budget that have not yet been routed and approved through the position management process, will require exceptional review and approval. All hiring requests for the 2025-26 budget cycle will be reviewed carefully through the normal budget review process.
