(2) Merit Evaluations for a minimum of five years since the last rank was attained should be included. (3) The applicant's Dean must also submit a letter supporting the application and attesting to the applicant's eligibility for the Senior Level and his/her achievements. (4) Additional letters of support may be included from graduates, professional organizations, peers, advisory boards, or others. (5) The Provost of Fairmont State University will send the applications to the Senior Level Faculty Personnel Committee. This committee will be comprised of University faculty who have attained the Senior Level designation; this committee will review senior level applications for both the University. This committee structure will be reviewed after two years. The committee will send its recommendations to the Provost and the President for final approval. Please note: The number of applicants who are approved for the new levels in any given year will be determined both by the quality of the applications and by budgetary restrictions. Deadline and Notes Applications, including letters from the Deans, must be in the Provost’s office by the first working day in December. Note: Professor/Senior Level and Associate Professor/Senior Level were approved by FSU Faculty Senate on 11/09/04, The Board of Governors on 11/29/04, and the HEPC on 1/27/05. Promotion to Other Ranks or Tenure A faculty member seeking promotion in rank or tenure initiates the procedure by submitting the required Promotion or Tenure Application packet, vita, and portfolio containing relevant documents to his/her Dean early enough so that the Dean can complete the evaluation and submit it, along with the Application and Portfolio, to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs by December 1. 14 Evaluations of the candidate by two peers within the College/School are required, one peer to be chosen by the candidate and one by the Dean. If the candidate is a school chairperson, one peer evaluator will be selected by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Each peer must submit his/her evaluation directly to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs by December 1. 15 These evaluations are part of the application packet. The Provost verifies that official transcripts confirm the candidate’s qualifications. The Provost then forwards the Application and Portfolio to the Faculty Personnel Committee for its consideration and recommendation. After deliberation, the Committee sends its report to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs who forwards the Application and Portfolio to the President along with the Provost’s recommendation. The President of the University will make the final decision regarding promotion. The President will then inform the candidate of the decision regarding the promotion. 35 14 An applicant who performs academic duties in more than one administrative unit or school must be evaluated separately by each Dean. 15 An applicant whose teaching duties are divided equally between two schools is required to have evaluations submitted by two peers in each school, following the peer selection process described above. If the applicant teaches more courses in one school than in another, evaluations must be submitted by peers in the school where the greater number of courses is taught Revised by Faculty Senate November 21, 2003
APPLICATION MATERIALS AND GUIDELINES Submit materials to your Dean in time for review and submission to the Provost by December 1. Note differences in the guidelines depending on the year you were hired: before July 1, 1999 or after July 1, 1999. If you are applying for both promotion and tenure, you need to prepare only one portfolio. Be sure to include application materials for both. 36 Portfolios must be no larger than a four inch binder. The outside of your portfolio should have, at a minimum, your name and the action(s) [promotion, tenure, or promotion and tenure] you seek. Create a Table of Contents. Use tabs to separate sections. Because so many people must handle your portfolio, consider using sleeves for each page for protection and durability. 1. Application Packet: The packet should be organized in this format: Application coversheet(s) Evaluation from Dean, which must include in-class observation. In-class observations must document the date and time of the observation, the course name, meeting place, and number of students in attendance. Evaluations from Peers: An evaluation of the faculty member’s performance by a colleague designated by the Dean, which must include in-class observation. In-class observations must document the date and time of the observation, the course name, meeting place, and number of students in attendance. Evaluations from Peers: An evaluation of the faculty member’s performance by a colleague designated by the applicant, which must include in-class observation. In-class observations must document the date and time of the observation, the course name, meeting place, and number of students in attendance. If you are applying for promotion only, you will have two observations and evaluations from peers and one evaluation from your dean. Note that all evaluations are to include classroom observation, with specific information about the class observed to be included. If you are applying for tenure only, you will have two observations and evaluations from peers and one evaluation from your dean. Note that all evaluations are to include classroom observation, with specific information about the class observed to be included. If you are applying for promotion and tenure, you will have four evaluations and observations from peers (two for promotion and two for tenure). If a candidate is not being recommended for tenure, the dean would not recommend that candidate for promotion. If, however, the dean recommends for tenure, he/she may or may not recommend for promotion as well. If you wish to use out-of-field observers, please discuss this with your dean. Materials for the packet are available in the Forms Repository online. The evaluations are sent directly to the Provost. The Personnel Committee will insert them into your portfolio. 2. Vita: The vita should be organized in the following format: EDUCATION PROFILE A list of degrees attained beginning with the highest degree. Indicate institution, field of study, degrees attained and date. (Official transcripts of all education credentials must be in
