College Advisory Councils. 3.2.1 Each departmentally organized college (or academic unit not affiliated with a departmentally organized college) shall have a College Advisory Council (CAC). The CAC in each college shall be selected from among the college’s faculty provided that two thirds (2/3) of the membership of each CAC must hold the rank of Associate Professor or above and be tenured or on Continuing Contract Status. CAC members who are not tenured or on Continuing Contract Status may not participate in tenure or Continuing Contract reviews, CAC members on contingent, term or probationary appointments may not participate in Continuing Contract Status reviews, and CAC members below the rank of Associate Professor may not participate in promotion reviews for faculty members seeking a rank higher than that currently held by that CAC member. However, in a college where the above requirement would exclude a department from representation on its CAC, an exception may be made; the bylaws of that CAC will address such exceptions. A faculty member who is applying for tenure, promotion or Continuing Contract Status may not serve as a member of the CAC that will be reviewing the individual’s application for promotion, tenure, or Continuing Contract Status during the academic year or application. CAC members must recuse themselves from participating in evaluation of faculty from their own departments.
