FACULTY TENURE COMMITTEE Sample Clauses
The Faculty Tenure Committee clause establishes a designated group responsible for reviewing and making recommendations regarding faculty members' eligibility for tenure. Typically, this committee is composed of senior faculty members who evaluate candidates based on established criteria such as teaching effectiveness, research contributions, and service to the institution. By centralizing the tenure review process within a committee, this clause ensures a fair, consistent, and transparent evaluation, helping to maintain academic standards and protect both faculty interests and institutional integrity.
FACULTY TENURE COMMITTEE. A. A Faculty Tenure Committee (FTC) is established within each Faculty to consider recommendations with respect to tenure received from the Department Evaluation Committees to assess that the process was fair and that due process was followed, and to make tenure recommendations to the Vice-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Faculty Affairs.
B. The FTC normally consists of six tenured members from the Faculty, plus the ▇▇▇▇ who chairs the committee. The ▇▇▇▇ votes only in the case of a tie. Normally, the members of the FTC cannot be members of a DEC, unless no other tenured faculty members are available from a Department/School. The members are elected by the tenure-stream members of the Faculty as indicated in 5B.2 D, E below.
C. Normally, members serve for a two year term on the FTC, the terms to be overlapping.
D. In Faculties with six or more Departments/Schools, no more than one member of the FTC may be from a single Department/School. In Faculties with more than six Departments/Schools, to ensure that every Department/School has representation over time on the committee, elections to the committee will be from the Departments/Schools next on the Faculty ordering established in 5B.4.F, in rotating order. When a Department/School has a member on the committee, they will be elected by and from that Department/School.
E. In Faculties with fewer than six Departments/Schools, there must be at least one member of the FTC from each Department/School. No more than two members of the FTC may be from a single Department/School. In such a Faculty, the Faculty may decide by majority vote to establish an FTC with fewer than six elected members but with at least one position for each Department/School in the Faculty. The decision as to which Departments/Schools shall have one or two representatives shall be made according to the ordering established in 5B.4.
