Common use of Review Committee Clause in Contracts

Review Committee. The next step in the review process is an independent review by a committee elected by academic staff members of the academic unit, or selected by another procedure fully acceptable to the members of the academic unit and the Xxxx. The committee shall not include anyone with an out-of-scope appointment. The Xxxx may be present as an observer when the Review Committee meets. Keeping in mind the substance of Articles 17.1 and 17.4, the Review Committee shall review the statements included in and attached to the Annual Information Form(s) and the Performance Review Form in the light of established criteria of the academic unit and make written recommendations, with rationale, on the Performance Review Form. Similarly, keeping in mind the substance of Articles 17.1 and 17.4, if there are verbal submissions by initial reviewers to the Committee made in the performance review process, the Committee shall decide if they are fair and appropriate commentary based upon appropriate evaluation of the material submitted for review. If they are not, they shall be excluded from consideration. If they are deemed to be fair and appropriate commentary, they shall be put in writing and communicated to the academic staff member being reviewed. The member will then have an opportunity to respond to the commentary. The Review Committee shall schedule a meeting with the Xxxx to provide its recommendations to the Xxxx. In the case of a tenure-track academic staff member, the committee shall provide a written recommendation on renewal of appointment, the rationale for its recommendation, comments on the member’s performance, and suggestions to the member on steps to be taken for progress towards tenure and/or promotion. This document shall be part of the member’s file.
