Faculty Review Committee

The Faculty Review Committee provides the first level of review for promotion and tenure or for promotion to a higher rank.  The Committee is also responsible for monitoring visiting committee reports, and peer evaluation of Library Faculty for merit.  In addition, it is responsible for insuring that appropriate channels of communication exist among the Committee, the University Librarian, and the Library Faculty regarding the work of the Committee and its decisions.

The Faculty Review Committee shall be composed of one tenured faculty member, of the rank of associate professor or professor, elected from each division.  The members are elected for three year staggered terms and may be re-elected to one successive term.  The chair is elected by and from the members of the FRC for a one-year term, and may be re-elected to one successive term.

No member of the Faculty Review Committee can simultaneously serve on the Promotion and Tenure Advisory Committee.
