What happens if a person with preferential rehire rights applies for the position?
An applicant with preferential rehire rights is someone who was laid off from the University, possesses qualifications for a given position, and meets other policy and/or collective bargaining provisions. If a person meeting these criteria applies for a particular position, his or her application will be referred to the hiring department for an interview before any other applications can be considered. If the person is disqualified after the interview, Employment & Outreach Services will screen and refer the rest of the applicant pool.
