Library Faculty Assembly: Post Tenure Review Committee

Charge: The members of the Post Tenure Review (PTR) Committee will review and discuss packets for Post Tenure Review. The PTR Committee will follow regulations outlined in the Board of Governor’s (BOG) Regulation 10.003.  After review and discussion of each packet, the Chair of the Committee will inform the Dean of University Libraries and the Libraries’ Human Resources Office that their review has been completed. A fact-finding report, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate, will be prepared for the Dean of University Libraries. The committee shall not recommend a rating. The purpose of this assessment is to provide the dean with insight regarding whether the faculty member is making contributions consistent with those expected of a tenured faculty member; provide guidance for continuing and meaningful faculty development, when needed; and recognize faculty members who continue to exceed expectations.

Composition: The Post Tenure Review Committee is composed of one member from each tenure home. All are appointed by the Dean of University Libraries. All must be tenured faculty members, ideally with a majority of University Librarians. Preference will be given to faculty members who have previously served on the Tenure & Promotion Committee.

Chair: By September of each year the Dean of University Libraries will appoint one University Librarian on the committee to be the Chair of the committee.

Term: Each faculty member appointed to the committee will serve a three-year term, unless appointed to fill in for a committee member who has left the Libraries or is otherwise unable to serve. New members are appointed in August, take office December 1st, and complete their service three years later on July 30th. Appointments are staggered in such a way that the terms of two committee members will end each year thus necessitating the appointment of two new committee members.
