Tenure & Promotion Procedures- Notification of Faculty
D. Notification of Faculty
When the appointment of an untenured faculty member in the first year of service is not continued, the dean of the college must notify the individual in writing about the individual's non-renewal of appointment by March 1 for appointments ending June 30 or three months in advance if the appointment ends at some other point during the academic year. The corresponding deadline in the second year of service is December 15 for appointments ending June 30 or six months in advance if the appointment ends at some other point during the academic year. After two years of service, twelve-month’s written notice must be given (AR 11-1.0-1, Section IV.B).
If a dean decides not to recommend the award of tenure to an Assistant or Associate Professor in the next-to-last year of probation, the dean shall notify the faculty member of this decision in writing before the end of the sixth or next-to-last year of the individual's probationary period. A full Professor in a one-year probationary period must be notified in writing of the dean's decision not to recommend tenure no later than March 1 if the individual's probationary period expires at the end of the academic or fiscal year or three months in advance if the probationary period terminates during the year (AR II-1.0-1, Sections III.G and III.H).
