A.
GENERAL.
 In addition to the annual evaluation of faculty by the unit
administrator, each full-time, untenured faculty member shall be
reviewed by a committee of colleagues during the 24- to 36-month
period after beginning employment at UI. The committee shall
provide the faculty member with a detailed report regarding the
faculty member's progress toward promotion or tenure or both. The
third-year review process shall not include a vote of the committee
or unit faculty.
 
In other words, this is a formal opportunity to provide a faculty member
feedback about their progress toward tenure and/or promotion.
 
PURPOSE OF THIRD YEAR REVIEW
 
FSH 3510 A
 
PROMOTION
 
FSH 3500 A-2
 
 Academic rank represents and rewards the individual’s
performance as a scholar, teacher, and faculty member.
 
Promotion to a higher rank is not automatic, but is a
decision made on an individual basis subject to university,
college, and unit criteria.
 
Candidates must meet the requirements for the rank
based on their responsibility areas (FSH 1565 C) in their
position descriptions and the criteria articulated in the
unit and/or college bylaws.
 
TENURE
 
FSH 3500 A-3
 
Tenure protects academic freedom in order to maintain a free and open
intellectual atmosphere and allows us to attract and retain superior
teachers and scholars as members of the faculty.
 
Tenure is a condition of presumed employment accorded to a faculty
member, usually after a probationary period, on the basis of an evaluation
and recommendation by a unit committee and administrator, a college
committee and dean, a university committee, the provost, and the
president.
 
Tenure is granted only to full-time faculty members who demonstrate they
have made and will continue to make significant contributions to their
disciplines through effective performance in the responsibility areas in
FSH 1565 as specified in their position descriptions and consistent with
university, college and unit criteria.
 
THIRD YEAR REVIEW PROCESS
 
New policy section as of July 1, 2020—FSH 3510
Normally during the 24-36 months after hire
Candidate submits a Dossier (outlined in FSH 3500 D-minus external peer review).
Committee: same structure as Unit P&T Committee (see FSH 3500 E-1-a)
Final product
Report from committee offering guidance
Unit Administrator report
Candidate response to unit reports
Dean’s report
Candidate response to dean’s report
