April-May

  • External reviewers are identified; department chair sends list of names to Dean for approval.
  • In some cases, at the judgment of the chair, the chair and a returning member of the DRC meet with the Dean to discuss the names. See: Record of External Letters for CLAS RPT Review.

  • Departments review files and submit to Dean’s Office; DRC and Chair, independently and in this order, each write a recommendation, positive or negative. See: Dept. Review Committee and Dept. Chair Guidelines.
  • If the recommendation from the department chair is negative, the chair meets with the faculty member to provide a copy of the letters and to explain the right of rebuttal.

November/December

  • College Review Committee (CRC) reviews files and writes a recommendation, positive or negative. Dean reviews files and writes a recommendation, positive or negative.
  • After materials have been submitted, the CRC or Dean may request additional information from the Department Chair and/or request a meeting with the Chair and/or faculty member.

Early January

  • Dean’s Office submits file to Provost.
  • Copies of the four review letters (DRC, Chair, CRC, and Dean) are returned to Department, with a form to be signed off by faculty member and Chair.
