Article 16. POST-TENURE REVIEW

Section 6. Deferral of Post Tenure Review (PTR)

(a) Deferral Request Process

A faculty member is allowed to defer their PTR pursuant to reasons outlined in Section II of the 2017 PTR Guidelines. Deferrals are for a one-year period and the request is subject to the approval of their Dean. To request a deferral, a faculty member must submit a written request outlining the reasons for their deferral of their post-tenure review to their Dean by June 1 of the academic year they were notified of their eligibility. The Dean’s decision in response to the member’s request for deferral will be made on or before June 15.

(b) Subsequent Deferral(s)

A faculty member may apply for subsequent, one-year consecutive deferral(s) of PTR for any of the reasons outlined in Section II of the 2017 PTR Guidelines. The faculty member must submit a new request for any additional one-year deferral annually upon notification of eligibility for PTR following the same process outlined in subsection (a) of this Section 6.
