Faculty Handbook

• Members will serve for three years. Re-election for one three-year term is permissible. • For the sake of continuity, election of members shall be staggered to the extent possible, so that ideally no more than two members of CPQ are elected in any given year. • Due to the highly confidential nature of the committee’s deliberations, the Office of the Vice President and Dean for Academic Affairs will provide staff support for the committee. • The Committee will elect a committee member to serve as chair. • With the approval of the Dean for Academic Affairs and communicated to the applicant before the review process begins, the committee shall invite ad hoc member(s) to serve on tenure and promotion decisions when an elected member has a conflict of interest or is ineligible to vote. T obe eligible to vote, members must be at or above the rank the candidate is aspiring for and must have attained tenure to vote on matters pertaining to tenure. Addition of ad hoc members shall be made public prior to committee deliberations on candidate promotion and tenure decisions. E. DECISION-MAKING: Majority vote reported to the dean for action as defined in the policy document. Minority and dissenting views may be included in the report.
