Faculty Review Committee, 2008-2009
as of 7/22/08

The Faculty Review Committee will include a minimum of two faculty members from each college and two each from the library and the extra-collegiate extension or outreach division faculty. Additional members from colleges may be appointed in direct proportion to the colleges' representation in the Faculty Senate. The president of the Faculty Senate, in consultation with the cabinet, appoints the chair. The chair may be a member of the senate or a member of the Faculty Review Committee. Committee members, who are appointed by the Faculty Senate president in consultation with the senate cabinet, must, at the time of their initial appointment, have served on their college or equivalent promotion and tenure committee or in the Faculty Senate. Members may not serve on a university or college promotion and tenure committee and on the Faculty Review Committee simultaneously. In the event that no eligible faculty members from a particular college or the library or the extra-collegiate extension or outreach division can be identified who are willing and able to fill a vacant position on the FRC, the Faculty Senate president in consultation with the senate cabinet may appoint the appropriate number of tenured faculty members to complete the membership of the Faculty Review Committee. The functions of this committee are: (1) to provide faculty review of faculty grievances; and (2) to consider appeals in the promotion and tenure process, when the provost does not concur with a positive recommendation from the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure. The Faculty Review Committee reports annually to the Faculty Senate Cabinet on the number of cases handled, their disposition, and on the effectiveness of the review process.
