Annual reappointment of a non-tenured faculty member to a given rank requires that the individual continues to meet the requirements of that rank and show good year-to-year performance in all aspects of his/her job description. This includes both faculty members appointed on non-tenure pathways and faculty members appointed on tenure-eligible pathways, but who have not yet been awarded tenure. To be considered for promotion, a faculty member must have the qualifications of the next rank. It is possible to be a valuable faculty member at a certain rank for many years without demonstrating sufficient progress to merit promotion. It is an important faculty development responsibility and requirement of each Department Chair, with assistance of Division/Section Chiefs as needed, to provide annually to each faculty member, whether tenured or non-tenured, a written review and evaluation of the faculty member’s performance and academic progress.
