TENURE HEARING COMMITTEE, FACULTY

Purpose. At the request of the faculty member involved, hears the case between a tenured faculty member and the University concerning the dismissal of the faculty member and provides written findings on the material facts and a recommendation of the continuance or termination of the accused faculty member's tenure.

Appointments. The President makes all appointments from a panel of nominations submitted by the University Faculty Senate and designates the Chair; five members are selected from a panel-this panel consists of the top twenty tenured vote-getters (plus ties) as recorded in the spring semester faculty elections for the University Faculty Senate (including tenured, second-year members, third-year members, and immediate past year's members of the Faculty Senate) but not overlapping in membership with the Faculty Tenure Advisory Committee; one year terms expiring at the end of the fiscal year.
