Philosophy of Functional Titles

  1. Title usage should be consistent throughout the institution
  2. Titles will match the position description responsibilities and reflect the job family to which the position has been assigned
  3. Titles should be consistent with those in the higher education
  4. Titles will be short and communicate an immediate understanding of the position (Mainframe computer has space for 25 characters)

The title examples for each of the job bands below are just that: examples. The examples are not intended to represent a finite list from which to choose. If a title you wish to use is not on the list, it should be developed in the context of the philosophy above.

Modifiers to the examples would be appropriate in many cases. For instance, in job family 5105, "coordinator" is one of the title examples. It would be more clear to use the title "mail coordinator."
