VOTING GUIDELINES
In providing advice on recommendations that involve the award of tenure, committee member participation is limited to tenured faculty. For promotion to full professor in the tenure system, committee member participation is limited to tenured full professors.
For all tracks of appointment, in providing advice on recommendations for promotion, all candidates for promotion will be voted on by committee members at the rank recommended for promotion or above. Clarification: in providing advice on recommendations for tenure system reappointment to the second probationary period at the rank of assistant professor, a tenure system assistant professor may vote if they have been reappointed to the second probationary period.
If a committee member has a conflict of interest with any of the applicants, they are required to recuse themselves.
REVIEW PROCESS
A primary and secondary reviewer will conduct an extensive review of assigned promotion packets.
CRITERIA
The College of Human Medicine has specific criteria for each faculty appointment system.
