Initiating Post-tenure Review. If a majority of the department faculty members indicate that a faculty member “Does Not Meet Expectations” in teaching, scholarly activity, or service, then a deficit has been identified during the biennial review process and, as such, the Chair must initiate the post-tenure review process.

If a majority of the department faculty members indicate that a faculty member “Does Not Meet Expectations” in teaching, scholarly activity, or service, then a deficit has been identified during the biennial review process and, as such, the Chair must initiate the post-tenure review process. The Xxxx may independently initiate the post-tenure review process, if the faculty member's performance indicate a serious deficit in teaching, scholarly activity, or service. The faculty member will be notified by the Chair within ten (10) days of the completion of the evaluations that a comprehensive review of his or her performance will begin. The faculty member will then have ten (10) days to respond to the Chair regarding the call for post-tenure review. The faculty member’s response shall include a narrative addressing the concerns raised and any evidence relevant to the call for a review.

If the performance deficit occurs in research and service, the Faculty Affairs Committee will do an evaluation based on the materials submitted. After all evidence has been presented to and reviewed by the committee, the committee shall submit a recommendation to the Chair and Xxxx that indicates whether or not to place the faculty member on probation. If the committee finds that there is no serious performance deficit, the process is halted. If the recommendation is for probation and the C...
