Regis College Committee on Rank and Tenure
The Regis College Committee on Rank and Tenure annually reviews the progress of the faculty with
regard to their professional growth and their fulfillment of the obligations of faculty appointments and
makes recommendations to the President, with copies to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and to
the Dean, concerning personnel actions such as advancement to tenure and promotion in rank as set forth
in Articles 13, 16, and 17.
The Committee is composed of five members elected in the spring semester by the following criteria:
a. each member must be a full-time, tenured member of the faculty with three or more years
of continuous service at Regis College who holds the rank of Assistant Professor,
Associate Professor, or Professor;
b. no more than two members may be from any one academic department; and
c. no member may be on the Review Committee.
Nominations for service on this committee will include all eligible faculty members who have agreed to
serve. The election is conducted by the Faculty Development Committee. A simple majority of the
votes cast by the members of the faculty shall be necessary for election. Terms of office, which are for
three years, expire in rotation with two terms ending in one year, two ending in the next year, and one
term ending in the third year. Terms begin the day after Spring Commencement. Vacancies are filled by
special election; a person elected to fill a vacancy serves for the remainder of that term.

tenure;
