Utilization of Student Hourly Employees

Departments may hire student hourly employees only to the extent that they supplement, not to displace or replace, classified non-union or bargaining unit employees. Student hourly employees should not supervise bargaining unit employees but may supervise other student hourly employees.

Student employment must not displace employees, including those on strike, or impair existing service contracts. Replacement is interpreted as displacement. Additionally, if the University has an employment agreement with an organization in the private sector, the organization’s employees must not be replaced with student employees. 

Replacing a full-time employee whose position was eliminated, regardless of reason, with a student employee is prohibited.
