**please note -- the ANNUAL performance report is
required in addition to the 5-Year Post Tenure Review Policy **

5 Year Post Tenure Review - There is a specific 5 Year Post Tenure Review policy that needs to be handed out to faculty being reviewed.  It states:  

• Reviews shall be based on a current curriculum vita,

 

• Previous APRs filed since obtaining tenure or since the last review (not to exceed 5 years)

 

• Teaching evaluations for the past 5 years

 

• Student comments for the past 2 years, and other material that the faculty member or the committee feel may be relevant to the review.

 

• The faculty member is encouraged to compile an activity report covering the entire period under review to bring out progress toward long term goals.

 

• The faculty under review should provide the committee with a brief summary of career plans for the future.

 

• Letters from outside the University would not ordinarily be part of the evaluation, but could be at the discretion of either the faculty member under review or the committee.

 

• The reviewers may take other steps considered useful in making a fair and informed judgment including but not limited to consultation with individuals who have knowledge of the faculty member=s work.
