Policy Title

All members of post-tenure review committees will be tenured Winthrop faculty. A faculty member may serve on more than one committee in a year. No faculty member will serve in the year in which he/she is scheduled for review. In most cases, associate and assistant deans will not serve on committees in their departments unless there is an insufficient number of eligible faculty. Associate and assistant deans and chairs may serve on committees outside their departments. Chairs and deans cannot serve on a committee for a faculty member from his/her department.

Composition of Committee: For faculty members, a committee of three faculty members: one from the candidate’s department if sufficient number of tenured faculty; one from outside the department, and the third preferably from the candidate’s department. For assistant and associate deans, a committee of three faculty members: one from the candidate’s academic department if sufficient number of tenured faculty, one from the academic unit in which candidate serves, and one assistant or associate dean from another academic unit. For academic deans, a committee of three faculty members: one from the dean’s academic department if sufficient number of tenured faculty, one from the academic unit in which the dean serves, and one dean from another academic unit.
