Tenure & Promotion Procedures- Special Title Series
[7] Special Title Series
Complete information must be supplied on individuals in a Special Title Series or with other exceptional appointments that differ from regular faculty positions. Dossiers for Special Title Series faculty must contain full descriptions of the positions and of the criteria for promotion that have been approved as provided in the Administrative Regulations AR II-1.0-1. The dossier must include documentation the date that the criteria were approved by an Area Academic Advisory Committee.
In addition, the new Governing Regulations (GR VII.A.6.c) also state:
“The Department faculty may develop statements describing the evidences of activity in teaching, research and service that are appropriate to their field(s) for use in guiding evaluations for promotion and tenure. If developed and approved by the department faculty, those statements must be submitted by the chair of the department to the dean for review and final approval before the statements are made operative in the department.”
Correspondingly, if such statements have been made operational and applied to the proposal for promotion and/or tenure, a copy of the indicated statement, and the dates of its approval by the department faculty and dean, must be included in the dossier.
