Tenure and Promotion Advisory Committee

Charge

This advisory committee reviews candidates at the 3rd year review and candidates eligible for tenure and promotion. It is responsible for conducting a thorough and considered review of each file that is submitted by departments and for submitting a written report and recommendation as well as a report of its vote on each file. The Committee also advises the dean on issues pertaining to tenure and/or promotion, such as guidelines for tenure and promotion and procedures for conducting tenure and promotion reviews.

Membership

Each department elects one tenured, full professor representative to the committee for a 3-year term. Beginning in 2000-2001, an associate professor representative who is elected as a college at-large representative, will also serve on the committee. All tenure track faculty members are eligible to vote for their departmental representative and for the College at-large member. The expected term for the at-large representative is two years. However, in the event the associate professor representative is reviewed for promotion to Full Professor during this two-year term, the individual will not complete his or her term, and an election for a new 2-year position will be held. The at-large representative cannot be from the same department for two consecutive terms. The at-large representative participates in discussions and votes in cases involving third year reviews and tenure and promotion to associate professor. In order to capitalize on the developmental opportunities for associate professors, the at-large representative may be present during discussions involving promotion to full professor but does not vote on promotion to full professor. All members of the committee are expected to represent the College rather than to serve as advocates for their departments. Individuals who hold administrative positions as department heads or who serve on the dean's staff are not eligible to serve on the committee.
