University Tenure and Promotion Review Committee Meeting

David R. Colburn, Professor and Associate Provost

The University Committee reviewing UF’s rules and procedures regarding tenure and promotion met today and began streamlining the rules so that all tenure and promotion cases will proceed forward to the President. The Committee also revised the rules to make sure that candidates for tenure and promotion are advised about the status of their case at every stage in the process from the department to the college to the President. The Committee will meet at least twice more before the holidays to complete this process. It will report its progress to the Senate at the December 11th meeting and will submit its final report at the January meeting.
