Purpose

This guideline outlines how full-time, tenure-track and non-tenure track faculty in the College of Health and Human Development can review the department, college, and dean’s review letters from a past promotion and the 6th year review tenure cycle.

Review Process

At the end of each cycle, it is expected that department heads/school directors will set up times to meet with each faculty member to review the contents of the review letters. The department heads/school directors and their admins have digital review access to the letters for each faculty member from the past cycle. While it is encouraged to discuss the contents of the letters, the letters are not to be distributed in any way via email, link, or physical copy to the faculty member at this time.

Secondary Review (As Needed)

If there is need for a secondary review for clarification purposes after the faculty member has met with their department head/school director, they may fill out and submit a Request to Review Personnel File form to HR in order to request to review copies of the promotion and tenure letters. Please complete this form and email it to the below HR staff member as well as CC the admin of the Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

If the faculty member has outstanding questions or needs additional clarification, they may reach out to the administrative assistant of the Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to schedule a meeting to discuss.
