In the absence of an approved external review policy in the Department Policy Statement, the recommended minimum of four shall prevail, where practicable, and the process will follow the guidelines found in this section of the Agreement. The candidate and the chair of the DPC shall identify the names of the recommended number of mutually acceptable external reviewers. If they are unable to reach agreement on the recommended reviewers, each will be responsible for identifying an equal number of external reviewers until the recommended number has been obtained. Materials sent to the external reviewers should include a vita and other items that demonstrate professional recognition. The candidate and the chair of the DPC should attempt to reach mutual agreement as to these materials. If they are unable to reach agreement, the chair of the DPC shall make the final decision.

The department chair’s request to an external referee must include Western’s statement on confidentiality: “Your letter of evaluation, as part of an official review file, will be held in confidence and will not be disclosed to the faculty member under consideration or to the public except as required by law or University policy. In all such instances, the information made available will be provided in a form that seeks to protect the identity, privacy, and confidentiality of evaluators.” Nothing in the above is intended to prevent a candidate from soliciting external letters.

General Process. Based on the criteria and procedures specified in this Agreement, the qualifications and performance of each probationary faculty member shall be reviewed by Western during the second, fourth, and sixth years of his/her appointment. If the probationary period is less than six (6) years, the review schedule shall be stipulated in the letter of appointment. Individual departments may, at their discretion, and in accordance with their Department Policy Statements, conduct more frequent intermediate tenure reviews. Tenure reviews are cumulative. Each subsequent review committee must consider the recommendations of earlier committees. Each tenure recommendation, including a substantiated narrative, shall explicitly state whether it is a positive or negative recommendation in the case of the final tenure award or one of four possible recommendations (positive, positive with conditions, negative with conditions, negative) for continued probationary status. Traditionally ranked faculty at the rank of assistant professor will be promoted to associate professor with the awarding of tenure. For faculty in rank at the level of Faculty Specialist I, promotion to the level of Faculty Specialist II shall be concurrent with the granting of the tenure award, provided tenure is awarded in year four or later after initial appointment. No later than October 15, all faculty who are undergoing tenure review shall submit their tenure files to their department chair (see Timetable in 17.§10 for specific date).
General Process. Department faculty members at or above the rank sought by the promotion candidates shall have the right and responsibility to make negative and positive recommendations, with supporting data, for promotions of colleagues according to this article, the Department Policy Statement, and in accordance with the established criteria and contractual timetable.

For purposes of promotion, the rank of associate professor is considered equivalent to the rank of master faculty specialist, the rank of assistant professor is considered equivalent to the rank of faculty specialist II, and the rank of instructor is considered equivalent to the rank of faculty specialist I. Traditionally ranked faculty at the rank of assistant professor will be promoted to associate professor with the awarding of tenure. For faculty in rank at the level of Faculty Specialist I, promotion to the level of Faculty Specialist II shall be concurrent with the granting of the tenure award, provided tenure is awarded in year four or later after initial appointment.
