Committee Composition

The committee will consist of eight full time faculty members of the college as follows: (a) four tenured faculty holding the rank of full professor; (b) two tenured faculty holding the rank of associate professor; (c) one clinical full professor; and (d) one clinical associate professor. One-half of the members of the committee (two tenured professors, one tenured associate professor and one clinical full or associate professor) will be elected by tenured faculty members of the college and one-half of the committee members will be appointed by the dean. With the initial implementation of the revised committee formation (i.e. September, 2007), the tenured faculty of the Faculty Assembly will also elect the chairperson and vice chairperson of this committee. These positions will be held by tenured faculty holding the rank of full professor. The vice-chairperson will be elected annually by the Faculty Assembly and will become the chairperson upon completion of the chairperson’s one-year term. Beginning in 2008, the terms of appointment for members of the Promotion and Tenure Committee will be for a period of three years with no member serving consecutive terms. The Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs will serve as a non-voting, ex officio Secretary of the committee. The committee reports directly to the Dean.

Tenure reviews, mid-career reviews for tenure accruing faculty, and tenure upon hire reviews, will be performed by a sub-committee consisting of the six tenured faculty members.

Promotions and mid-career reviews for promotion will be reviewed by a sub-committee consisting of all members that hold a rank superior to that of the candidate under consideration.

Sustained performance evaluations will be reviewed by a sub-committee consisting of all members holding a rank equal or superior to the candidate under consideration.

New appointments at the rank of full professor will be reviewed by a sub-committee consisting of the five full professors only.

Professorial step reviews will be completed by a sub-committee consisting of the four tenured full professors.

The full committee will be responsible for the annual review and recommendations for modifications of the college Promotion and Tenure Guidelines. These recommendations will be submitted to the Faculty Assembly for discussion and approval.

Standing Committee Charge

It is the responsibility of this committee to carry out the responsibilities as outlined in the College’s promotion and tenure guidelines and to review applications and make recommendations regarding promotion and tenure to the Dean of the College of Dentistry on applications submitted to the committee by the appropriate authorities.

Additional Charge from the Dean for 2008-2009

This year I am also charging the committee with continuing to review and revise the current college Promotion and Tenure guidelines.

Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities

The Promotion and Tenure Advisory Committee meets once a month on average for 1 hour over lunch. There are several processes in which the committee is involved. Although the committee meets all year round, in general, the Promotion and Tenure process begins in July and ends in December. Committee members must be available and be willing to attend all meetings related to P and T and the other processes in order to effectively serve as a member. The mid-career review process generally begins in August and ends in December. The salary pay plan increases are reviewed during January and February each year. Sustained performance evaluations are done from May through June.

In addition to monthly meetings, committee members review P and T packets outside of the meetings which can be extensive. Outside review of mid-career reviews and salary pay plan increases are similar to P and T in that they are also extensive. Sustained performance reviews require review of summary documents only.

Time commitment: Approximately 1 hour per month for meetings along with extensive review time required depending on the number of packets under consideration.
