Recommendations for Promotion. Each department in the Schools/Colleges of Business Administration; Engineering; Fine, Performing, and Communication Arts; Liberal Arts and Sciences; Medicine; Pharmacy and Health Sciences; each of the Schools/Colleges of Education; Law; Nursing; Social Work; Honors; and the School of Information Sciences shall delineate, as far as is practical and in a manner reflecting the particular mission and diverse characteristics of the unit, those factors that will be considered in the evaluation of the candidate’s qualifications with respect to the criteria in Section A.2 of this Article and to those department and School/College factors that may have a bearing on the promotion recommendations. The factors shall distinguish among teaching, scholarship and service, and the balance of requirements for each of these criteria shall be consistent with the distinct responsibilities of each classification: tenure-track faculty, faculty (clinical), faculty (research), and faculty (teaching). However, such factors are not to be interpreted as standards. Department and School/College promotion factors statements must receive the approval of the xxxx/director of the School/College prior to implementation. Applicants may submit evidence of scholarly achievement, teaching excellence, and service that has not been specifically listed under the factors. Similarly, promotion committees and administrators may also consider evidence of scholarly achievement, teaching and service that has not been specifically listed under the factors. No later than February 15 of a given year the President or their designee may request that a unit review its factors statement, and by no later than March 31 of that year the unit shall either reaffirm its current factors statement or submit a revised factors statement. The reaffirmed or revised statement must receive the approval of the xxxx/director of the School/College prior to implementation. If the xxxx/director and the unit are unable to agree upon a factors statement, the President or their designee shall appoint a committee of bargaining-unit members, using the procedures described in Article XXX, which shall advise the xxxx/director on the matter by September 15. The xxxx/director shall then develop the factors statement by September 30. Such a factors statement shall be in effect for the following academic year. The previous factors statement shall remain in effect prior to formal implementation of newly developed factors. If, for whatever reason, a factors statement has not yet been implemented, promotion applications from that unit shall be considered under the promotion criteria as specified in Section A.2 of this Article without reference to specific unit factors. The xxxx/director may also attach appropriate School/College/University factors to the unit factors statements. Factors used in a given case shall have been issued at least twelve (12) months prior to their use and shall have been distributed to each faculty member in the unit. A recommendation for a promotion from instructor to assistant professor may be processed without the involvement of the faculty promotion committees. If the recommendation for promotion is not approved by the xxxx/director or by the Xxxxxxx or other designee of the President there may be no appeal or grievance filed. However, a subsequent recommendation for promotion may proceed through the procedures described in this Article, with the involvement of the faculty promotion committees, without prejudice. Annually the unit promotion committee and the chair or xxxx/director (as appropriate) shall review each faculty member of the department/School/College with regard to the appropriateness of their rank.
