Committee appointments are made by April 1 of the semester prior to the semester in which the review will take place.

Biology

The Departmental P&T Committee includes three full professors who serve as the standing committee for all candidates; for each individual faculty member being reviewed, the DEO appoints an ad hoc "expert" to be an active member of the committee for purposes of preparing he summary of that faculty member's research accomplishments.

Chemistry

Departmental P&T Committee is the Departmental Consulting Group.

The Departmental P&T Committee shall be comprised of all faculty eligible to be in the Departmental Consulting Group

By April 15 of the calendar year in which the candidate (candidates) will be reviewed for tenure or promotion, the members of the departmental promotion and tenure committee will be established. The DEO chooses the members of this committee in consultation with the candidate(s) and the Departmental Consulting Group.

History

By April 15 of the semester prior to which the review is to be undertaken, the DEO shall constitute a departmental promotion and tenure committee normally to consist of all eligible members of the department. The committee shall be convened by the DEO as soon as possible after April 15, but no later than May 1. The DEO in consultation with and based on recommendations from the committee will select full professors to serve as the chair and sub-chairs for each tenure or promotion case to be considered. The sub-chair will have the administrative responsibility of arranging peer evaluations of teaching and will participate in drafting the committee's reports on teaching, scholarship, and service. The chair of the committee, with the advice and assistance of the sub-chairs and other members of the committee, will be responsible for drafting the reports on the candidate's teaching, scholarship, and service and entering the reports in the promotion record.

Mathematics

At least one member of the Departmental P&T Committee must be from outside the candidate's area of research.

Music

For candidates for tenure, the Departmental P&T Committee consists of the probationary review committee assigned to that candidate, with additional members appointed by the Director as necessary. For already tenured candidates being considered for promotion, the Director appoints the review committee as specified in the collegiate/University guidelines.

Physics and Astronomy

The DEO in consultation with the Executive Committee of the department will appoint a Departmental P&T Committee consisting of four faculty members from the Departmental Consulting Group to serve as the internal review committee for each candidate. When possible this committee should include faculty in the same area of research as the candidate. The full faculty will be informed of the committee membership.

The Departmental P&T Committee will usually include faculty who have previously served on the candidate's review committee (for assistant and associate professors) and the candidate's mentoring committee (for assistant professors).
