Membership: Nine to eleven faculty (two elected from each college and one elected from the Library). Members whose terms have expired will serve as alternates for two additional years to replace committee members who are recused or found ineligible to participate in termination hearings (section 6.8. Forfeiture of Tenure and Termination for Cause). Additional alternates selected to serve as replacements should have previously served on the University Promotion and Tenure Committee or on a college/library promotion and tenure committee.
Membership Conditions: Membership is limited to tenured associate professors/librarians or professors/librarians who are not being considered for promotion during the years of service on this committee. No member may serve more than three years consecutively, excluding their tenure as a standing alternate. Department chairs/supervisors and members of college/library promotion and tenure committees are not eligible to serve.
Purpose: The duties of this committee are to consider applications for promotion and/or tenure from eligible faculty who received a recommendation to be denied tenure or promotion from a college/library promotion and tenure committee and/or the dean (see 6.5. Promotion and Tenure Procedures), or have been referred to the committee by the Provost. The committee also reviews all applications recommended for an exceptional rating in post tenure review by the dean and/or college/library promotion and tenure committee (see 6.7. Post-tenure Review). The committee forwards its recommendation concerning these cases to administration. The primary responsibility for decisions related to tenure and promotion and for exceptional ratings in post-tenure review belongs, first, with the department (chair and peer review), and second, with the college/library (dean and college/library promotion and tenure committee). The University Promotion and Tenure Committee members will independently consider each file in cases where there is either disagreement at the department and/or college/library level, or apparent or perceived irregularities in due process or procedure.
The committee also reviews criteria, policies, and procedures for promotion and tenure, and submits proposed changes to the Faculty Senate for approval prior to a vote by the full voting membership of the faculty before implementation. The proceedings of this committee are confidential with respect to all written materials reviewed and all discussions of individual cases. Failure to maintain confidentiality will be sufficient grounds for dismissal from the committee, which has the authority, through a majority vote, to remove members for such reasons. Further, such conduct may be grounds for disciplinary action (see 5.1.4.2. Code of Faculty Conduct and Academic Responsibility). Such vacancies will be filled by an alternate or by election via the appropriate college/library.
Members of the University Promotion and Tenure Committee may not write letters of recommendation on behalf of candidates for promotion and/or tenure during their year of service on the committee.
Service on this committee may entail significant time commitments such as summer meetings or meetings scheduled with short notice.
