Merit Review Committee (MRC)

Your reviews and rating are to be completed and sent to the administrator prior to the scheduled review meeting(s). Those reviews will be compiled and shared and discussed at the meeting(s). The rating a person gets for each category of deliberation is reached by consensus of the group. Where there is strong agreement across the three raters, the process should go rapidly. The goal is to move efficiently; all committee members are expected to attend the entire review meeting(s). The review committee is comprised of one person from each track plus the chair and associate chair. Each faculty member's file is reviewed by two persons and the chair, resulting in three file reviews.
