Common use of Departmental Consultation Clause in Contracts

Departmental Consultation. Letters of Reference a) Letters of appraisal from external referees on the quality and significance of the scholarly (including professional, and/or creative) achievements of the candidate shall be obtained when consideration is being given to: i) initial appointment at, or promotion to, the rank of Associate Professor or Professor; ii) tenure; or iii) reappointment, when the departmental standing committee considers that it, or the Head considers that he or she, may recommend denial of reappointment, and a deficiency in scholarly work is a reason. For purposes of clarification, in the case of promotion to Senior Instructor, letters of appraisal do not need to be from external referees. b) The Head shall solicit letters of appraisal from four referees, of whom at least two shall be taken from a list of names supplied by the candidate. If additional referees are required at any time, the number selected from the list supplied by the candidate shall never be less than the number otherwise selected. If additional referees are required the candidate shall, if need be, provide additional names so that there shall always be one more referee on the candidate’s list than the number of referees to be selected from the list. c) Before selecting prospective referees for consideration the Head shall consult with the departmental standing committee about these referees.
