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.
