Tenure Process Sample Clauses
The Tenure Process clause outlines the procedures and criteria by which an individual, typically an academic faculty member, is evaluated for the granting of tenure. It usually details the required period of service, performance benchmarks such as teaching effectiveness, research output, and service contributions, as well as the steps for review and decision-making by relevant committees or administrators. This clause ensures a transparent and standardized approach to awarding tenure, thereby providing job security for qualified individuals and maintaining institutional standards.
Tenure Process a. Rules and regulations governing the Tenure process are detailed in Article XVI of this Agreement.

(b) The ▇▇▇▇ may grant an extension of the probationary period of up to two (2) years beyond the period defined at the time of the original probationary appointment if the Member has applied in writing prior to November 15 of the final year of a probationary appointment. An extension of the probationary period shall be granted if the Member takes maternity/ parental leave, takes leave to care for an infirm family member, or takes sick leave.
Tenure Process. 5.5.3.1 Non-Tenured Faculty Evaluation The evaluation of new faculty occurs over a three (3)-year period, after which the new faculty member, having exhibited satisfactory performance, would be eligible for a recommendation for tenure status. This procedure is further intended to ensure that proper records of evaluation activities will be available for administrative and Tenure Committee consideration throughout the three years. All required documents are to be placed in the permanent tenure file. (See 5.5.3.5 about the fourth-year extension.) To facilitate a formative process, a three (3)-person mentoring committee for each candidate will be formed to mentor and provide evaluation throughout the three (3)- year period. Ideally, the mentoring committee will be comprised of the candidate’s Department Chair, the appropriate program coordinator, if applicable, and a third faculty member from the department. In smaller departments it may be necessary to enlist a faculty member from outside the department. In such cases the Department Chair will consult with the ▇▇▇▇ in choosing the third member of the committee. The ▇▇▇▇ will provide training to the members of the committee to ensure the candidate has the support necessary to succeed.
Tenure Process. The faculty recommendation for tenure is the responsibility of the Academic Senate.
