UNIVERSITY REVIEW BOARD

 

Charge: 

 

The University Review Board shall review the dossiers and recommendations of all promotion and tenure cases submitted to the Office of Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs by the deans and directors.  The URB must ascertain that there is adequate documentation to allow determination that the candidate has satisfied the requirements in each of the categories of teaching, research or creative achievements, and service.  The Board determines that the review process has been carried out properly and that appropriate procedures have been followed.  The Board insures that the application of criteria for promotion and tenure is consistent throughout the university.  The Board submits a report to the Provost based solely upon the recommendations and evidence submitted in the comprehensive files.

Selection:    The University Review Board is composed of six faculty members, one from each of the colleges and one from the Library.  Elections for the Review Board in each unit must be conducted before October 15 and are supervised by the appropriate dean.  Review Board members must hold the rank of professor or associate professor, be tenured, and have at least five years of full-time academic experience on university faculties.  Members of the Review Board may not be a candidate for promotion nor hold an administrative position at the level of department chair or higher.  A nominating committee composed of the dean and all department chairs prepares a slate of at least two qualified nominees prior to October 1.  Tenured and tenure-earning faculty not on termination notice are eligible to vote in URB elections.  The term of office is two years and is staggered among the members.  The deans notify the provost of the results of the election, and the provost convenes the URB which chooses a chair from its members.
