FT&R Promotion Overview
Promotion guidelines and timetable
Promotion Guidelines Background
- Each department has own FT&R Faculty Promotion Committee (2 FT&R members, one tenured); details left to each department
- College has FT&R Faculty Promotion Review Committee with representatives from departments
- Approximately six years before promotion (guideline)
-
In fall 2008, FT&R Advisory Committee began to discuss strategies to facilitate a promotion process that would do the following:
- Improve understanding across all units of the role of fixed term and research faculty
- Clarify the evaluation criteria for promotion
- Clarify the differences in the emphasis areas and/or role expertise, (teaching, research, administration, or service) that FT&R faculty bring to the work they do
Timetable
- Accumulated annual reviews are a key component for building case for promotion (faculty activity summary, annual review and updated job description with supervisor by end of April)
- Suggested timetable:
- Oct 31 (nominations submitted with supervisor / mentor to department head and review committee)
- Dec 31 (committee recommendations to department head)
- Jan 31 (department head forwards to FT&R Promotion Review committee)
- March 30 (committee forwards recommendations to Dean)
- May 31 (Dean notifies faculty of decision)
