Per the policy timeline, the work of this committee begins in the January, and the committee will be called to meet at that time by the Provost or designee.

Composition

Each Department Rank and Tenure Committee elects a member to serve on the University Rank & Tenure Committee. Per section 3.17 of PS 10.A.01 - Rank and Tenure System, "The role of the University Rank and Tenure Committee is advisory to the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost and to the president. The committee is composed of tenured associate professors or professors who are to serve as a general academic review body on all cases of promotion and/or tenure. They do not serve as departmental representatives but rather are to bring to their deliberations an institutional perspective combined with the standards of the academic professoriate in the broadest sense."
