Promotion Review

S26Q

This review occurs no earlier than the first year in which a faculty member is eligible to stand for promotions appropriate to appointment. The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs will notify an eligible faculty member in the summer prior to the academic year in which he or she is first eligible for promotion. The faculty member must submit a formal letter of application to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs indicating his or her desire to be reviewed for promotion.

Faculty members who choose not to stand for review in a given year will continue to be eligible in subsequent years. No further notification shall be sent to these faculty members. The faculty member must submit formal application in any subsequent year he or she wishes to be reviewed. The applicant is responsible for meeting the guidelines in place at the year of application.

Those teaching faculty not recommended for promotion should confer with their Dean to understand the rationale for the recommendation. Faculty members who are denied promotion in a given year will continue to be eligible in subsequent years. These faculty members must wait at least one additional academic year following the academic year during which they applied before reapplying for promotion. The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs will notify the faculty member of eligibility to reapply in the summer prior to regained eligibility.
