level but participate at the Department T&P Committee.” I see no reason why the college committee member should participate in the department committee at all. By so doing, they have the opportunity to influence two voting groups that should be independent.

Thank you for sending this out to us. I only ask that the process for converting non-tenure track positions to tenure-track be outlined in this document so that the process is crystal clear. As it stands, the manner in which the two processes intersect is open
to interpretation.<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>

> To me this policy is a slap in the face to faculty members who are accelerated in their progress. I’m fine with denying the tenure/promotion, but to give the faculty member a letter of non-reappointment completely disincentives the prospect of going up
early. Additionally, within 2.4, the use of the word “significant” is both vague and left completely up to the T/P committees at ALL levels. To provide such a policy that would result in a faculty member being essentially fired by a subjective term seems
to be an unfair procedure.<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>

>> <span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
>> • While having the mid-term review in the 4th year can help tenure-track faculty to establish themselves and show progress, it could also pose challenges, as there might not be enough time after the 4th year to address the recommendations from the T&P
committee. Since this change is dictated by the system policy, we may not have much flexibility. Our recommendation would be to have T&P committee recommendations to be included in the annual APR in addition to DH comments. This means there will be a soft/quick
review by T&P committee every year and an elaborate review on the 4th year.<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
>> • Generally, we need further clarification regarding the external reviewers, their roles, how they will be picked (I think this is in line with other departments’ feedback).<br>
>> • Contrary to the statement in 2.5, as per 12.99.99.R0.08, DH may not be at will appointment. That should be changed to “and are at will or shared governance appointment”. While the appointment and retention decisions for Department Head is vested in
the Academic Dean with approval from the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and should consider the view of other stakeholders, the principle of shared governance in the academy requires that the faculty of the departments in their college play
an essential role in the selection of its college department heads<br>
>> • Under 3.5, it is stated the review will be performed by DH in years one, two, three and five. We think that Dept head alone doing this will be problematic, especially when there is DH change or disagreement among stake holders (DH, T&P committee, and
the candidate).<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
>> • Regarding 3.6, there might be technical issues regarding privacy and user errors. The measures to control these issues need to be stated more clearly.<br>
>> • Regarding 6.1.3, “in the rarest circumstances” clause creates ambiguity and unclarity.<br>
>> • Regarding 6.1.8, Committee members on both the department and college tenure and promotion committees should cast their vote at the college level, recuse at the department committee level but participate at the Department T&P Committee to avoid giving
double power to one person.<br>

>> Good morning to everyone, thank you President Yasemin for shearing the revised T&P policies. Thanks to Dr. Maggie and Dr. Carlos for sharing opinions.<br>
>> I am still waiting Math Department faculty for their notes but there is the policy 6.1.3 we have discusses sometimes ago. Apropos we discussed this policy in the Faculty Senate as well.<image001.png> If I remember well, the Faculty
Senate reached a decision that the above is unrealistic and puts huge burden on the Dept. Heads and may create problems to the whole process. It holds because there is no outcome if the outer reviewer does not submit the review on time?<br>
>> Hence more appropriate is if the candidate chose her/his outer reviewer OR we scrap this outer reviewer requirement. I think this is what we decided, and if I am wrong, please someone corrects me.<br>
