Third-Year Review Committee Process

The chair/dean of the division in which the faculty member under review resides is responsible for creating the Third Year Peer Review Committee. They, in collaboration with division/school faculty, will appoint at least three committee members, each of whom must be tenured. If possible two of these faculty members must be in the candidate’s division/school. The committee must also include the candidate’s tenured faculty mentor, who has acted as the dossier advisor. Finally, the committee must include one faculty member from another division/school or the library.

Once the VPAA’s Office has shared the candidate’s eDossier with the Chair of the Third Year Peer Review Committee and the Committee members, the Third Year Peer Review Committee Chair should contact the Tenure and Promotion Committee.  The Third Year Peer Review Committee Chair is responsible for validating the candidate’s dossier against the tenure criteria. The Third-Year Peer Review Committee Chair will deliver the dossier, along with a documented review with recommendations, to the division chair or school dean by November 1st of the fifth semester.
