Info

The decision of the Committee on Rank and Tenure regarding the fitness of the faculty member for promotion is recommended to the Board of Trustees by the President except in the following situations: a. when the President or Vice President for Academic Affairs believes that the Committee on Rank and Tenure did not follow the procedures established in this handbook; or b. when the Committee on Rank and Tenure did not obtain evaluation(s) of the material submitted by the faculty member by appropriate off-campus expert(s) and the President or Vice President for Academic Affairs deems it desirable to obtain such opinion(s); or c. when the President has pertinent information, including, but not limited to, the independent recommendations of the Dean and the Vice President for Academic Affairs, which was not utilized by the Committee at the time of its deliberations. In such instances, the President will forward such information to the Committee for its consideration and the Committee will notify the President, in writing, of any change(s) in its recommendations. If a difference of opinion continues to exist between the President and the Committee on Rank and Tenure, the President or his designee will confer with the Committee and the Dean and will attempt to resolve this difference of opinion prior to the President's decision which in any event will be final. In unusual circumstances, a final decision may be deferred until after the above notification date, provided that all interested parties are informed in writing of the reasons for the delay and the anticipated date of the decision. The Vice President for Academic Affairs will simultaneously inform in writing within ten (10) working days after the Spring Board of Trustees meeting or the faculty member, the Department Chair or Program Director, the Dean, and the Committee on Rank and Tenure of the action of the Board of Trustees on the application for promotion in rank. If all parties agree in writing in advance, these deadlines can be extended. If deadlines or extended deadlines are not met by the candidate, the application will not be reviewed that year. If major deadlines are not met by the supervisor, the Committee, the Dean, the Vice President for Academic Affairs or the President, the Committee (or the President if the Committee has missed a major deadline or the Board of Trustees if the President has missed a major deadline) will take whatever steps seem appropriate to guarantee that subsequent deadlines are met. 18.1 Academic Administrators and Faculty Offices ARTICLE XVIII Miscellaneous As long as a ranked member holds an appointment as an academic administrative officer as defined in Article 9.3.2, s/he may not hold an elected faculty position on the Committee on Rank and Tenure or on any other faculty committee where his/her position as an academic administrator would present a conflict of interest with regard to the stated purposes of the committee. However, s/he is eligible to be elected to all other faculty committees or honors unless such committees or honors are specifically restricted to fulltime faculty members. 76
18.2 Governance Regis University is committed to genuine collaboration with the faculty. There are several governance mechanisms: such as the Academic Policy and Planning Council, the Faculty Senate, and faculty committees as well as other processes for faculty participation in a wide range of issues. Regis University observes governance processes congruent with the position of AAUP that “curriculum, subject matter and methods of instruction, research and faculty status and those aspects of student life which relate to the educational process” (“ Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities”) are areas in which the faculty has primary responsibility. 18.3 Non-Discrimination The University shall not discriminate against any member or against any applicant for employment for reasons legally prohibited or for membership in, or activity on behalf of, the AAUP. 18.4 Non-Working Days/Dates Whenever a day or date referred to in this handbook falls on a non-working day, the action specified will be deferred to the first working day following. Failure by the University to comply with dates in this handbook are not grievable unless there is an adverse effect on the faculty member which results from the failure to comply with the date in question. 77
