3.12.B.9 - Queries about Process and Ethical Violations

Proposed revisions to the process are directed to the chair of the Promotion and Tenure Process Review Committee. Committee membership consists of the chairs of College P&T Committees from the previous year. Disputes about the Promotion and Tenure procedures, including structure and content (conflict of interest or conflicting guidelines for example), will be directed to the chair of the process review committee for investigation and resolution. Violations of process (late letters, committees not elected according to guidelines, etc.) should be reported to the Provost or designee and to all levels of review. In these cases, the college committee should make a recommendation to the Provost as to an appropriate course of action. Potential ethical indiscretions during the promotion and tenure process should be directed to the Provost or designee.
