The Human Resources offices have been delegated responsibility by State Universities Civil Service System (SUCSS) for approving those positions that meet the guidelines described in Position Standards for many frequently used titles. These Standards apply to University of Illinois positions when a position's primary function and major duties and responsibilities are consistent with those described in the Standard. While the duties of specific positions approved under the same Standard title may vary, the basic function and responsibility level determines assignment to a Position Standard. Units may use functional titles in addition to the standard titles, e.g., Director, Accounting; Assistant Dean, Alumni Affairs.
The following have been established as Standard titles. Clicking on the title will display the Position Standard description for the title. These are in Adobe Acrobat format.
