Letter of Intent (LOI) Templates and Process

If the candidate accepts your offer and after the specifics are approved by the Dean, the Department Chair or Dean's designee shall complete the Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI is not the vehicle for negotiating the terms of the position-offer with the selected candidate. The specific terms are to be agreed upon with the candidate (with the prior approval of the Dean's Office) before the LOI is composed and mailed. The LOI is written and signed by the Department Chair / School Director and printed on the Departmental / School letterhead. The LOI indicates that an appointment is being recommended and specifies the details.

The draft LOI must be sent to the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs for review and approval.  The Provost's Office will send the candidate the LOI.  

The Office of Research oversees a pool of institutional funds to help chairs and deans assemble competitive research start-up packages, and to provide new faculty with the resources necessary to establish a successful research program.
