Criteria and Procedures for Reappointment
Criteria. Criteria for reappointment will vary depending on the rank at which the candidate was hired; candidates must demonstrate a profile of activity commensurate with their current rank and with the potential for (i) progress toward tenure and also (ii) progress toward promotion in rank (unless appointed at the level of full professor without tenure).
Procedures. Faculty members during their probationary period must apply for reappointment every year by submitting a Reappointment File to the Director by a specified date. The candidate’s file will be made available for a specified period to all qualified faculty members, who will meet on a specified date to discuss the file and to vote for, or against, reappointment. At that time, a strictly advisory vote will also be taken regarding whether the faculty members see satisfactory progress being made toward tenure by the candidate.
Recommendations for reappointment are voted on by all faculty members in the School whose tenure has been approved by the Board of Regents and only by them.
