Whereas, the University Faculty Senate Committee on Promotions and
Tenure is charged with recommending to the Senate University-wide policies and
procedures relating to promotions and tenure and shall advise the faculties of
the colleges and departments and the President of the University on the
formulations of these policies,
And
Whereas it is in the best interest of all members of the university
community for the faculty handbook to offer clear and accurate guidance
concerning the promotion and tenure process
And
Whereas for the past two years, the University Faculty Senate
Committee on Promotions and Tenure has been working on revisions to the
Promotions and Tenure policies in the Faculty Handbook,
Be it therefore
Resolved, that the Promotions and Tenure Committee be allowed to
continue their work on revising the Faculty Handbook concerning Promotions and
Tenure policies and that this work not be delegated to an ad hoc committee of
the faculty senate’s appointment.
