Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
FWDC 1: 2008
Revisions to the Post-Tenure Review Process
(Revision
to SD6405S and Faculty Handbook 3.7.3)
Effective
Date: Fall 2008
Rationale:
Changes listed are both editorial and clarification of
current policy. Items to be removed
appear in brackets and items added appear bold and underlined.
1. Amend section 3.7.3 “Results of Post-Tenure
Review” as follows:
3.7.3.B
B. The evaluee has one or
more areas that require concentrated development efforts. The PTR Committee
advisory report dossier will be sent to the Provost for further review and
final decision, with copies to the evaluee and the Chair. The Report will
identify the area or areas of concern while noting any performances or
accomplishments that appear commendable or excellent. The faculty member may
challenge the advisory report as provided above.
If the Provost affirms the
Report after considering a challenge, or affirms an unchallenged report, the
faculty member will construct a Development Plan in consultation with the Chair
and the Associate Vice Chancellor assigned as liaison to the PTR process. The
Plan will address the area or areas that warrant improvement. The Plan will
include a development period when the evaluee will again be reviewed by the
PTRC - no less than one year later, up to three years later. The Chair and the
Provost will review the plan to determine resource implications. The Plan must
be approved by the Provost. The
evaluee will meet at least semi-annually with the Department chair or academic
unit head during the development period to assess progress.
Development Plans [may] should include provision for [a
Peer Mentor] mentoring peers who
[is] are requested by the
Evaluee and approved by the Provost. Mentoring peers should be senior members
of the faculty who are skillful in collegial relationships and recognized for
excellence in the area(s) requiring improvement. On request a mentoring peer
may be appointed before the Development Plan is finalized.
