Reports & Recommendations

Read the report from the Senate-Administration Committee to Review the Institutional Reference Check Program. In October 2019, UC San Diego began the Institutional Reference Check (IRC) program pilot for appointments conferring tenure or security of employment. The pilot was run for three years, with the goal of gathering information about a candidate’s conduct in their previous appointment that may be important to appointment decisions. The Senate-Administration Committee to Review the Institutional Reference Check Program was empaneled in 2022 and charged with providing a set of recommendations regarding how UC San Diego might adopt the pilot program and convert it to a local policy.
