TENURE AND PROMOTION REVIEW DOSSIERS:  PREPARATION, PROCESS AND FUNDING

 I.   Preparation and Funding

A.  The candidate has full responsibility for constructing the dossier in accordance with  the established guidelines, which follow.

B.     The campus will assist the candidate with reproducing all materials which have been gathered by the candidate for the requirements of the dossier, including those non-paper materials added by individual department guidelines, and with distributing those materials to the departmental evaluation committee.  Departments will keep the required non-paper materials to a minimum, to allow economical accumulation and distribution.

C.     C.  The candidate will limit the number of copies to the minimum requested by the department for efficient distribution, up to a maximum of nine, excluding the original. 

D.  D.  The cost of copying will be handled on the campus as an institutional expense.  Campus business managers should submit a budget transfer request to the central office comptroller.  The request should identify the candidate and the copying and mailing costs to be reimbursed to the campus.  The cost of using commercial services for duplicating or reimbursement to individuals will not be covered by the university without prior approval from the Assistant Chancellor for Administrative Services. 

E.   E. Department evaluation committee members from the same campus shall be expected to share a single copy.

F.  Dossiers received by the department, except for the departmental file copy, will be forwarded to the campus evaluation committee by January 25.  In the case of a negative decision, the copies will be returned directly to the candidate, except for the departmental copy.

G.  G.  The campus evaluation committee will forward two copies to the campus dean, one to place in the candidate’s campus file and one to send to the Vice Chancellor in support of department/campus/dean recommendations.

H. H. Faculty are expected to keep a copy of their dossiers up to date.  That is, they build their tenure and/or promotion dossiers year by year, starting from the first year.

    II.  Statement of Request and Self-Assessment

The self-assessment should be in narrative form (maximum 10 printed single-spaced pages) in which the applicant presents a guided history of accomplishments pertinent to the request for personnel action.  In addition to a Curriculum Vita, the presentation should describe and interpret the quality of activities in all the areas:  teaching, scholarship, professional development and university service.  In the case of promotion, materials should address progress since the last promotion.  To support the self-assessment, the narrative should include references to documents in A-D.  Departments may require additional information.
