Texas Education Code 51.942, Regents’ Rule 31102: Evaluation of Tenured Faculty, and HOP 2-2150: Comprehensive Periodic Evaluation of Tenured Faculty require that a CPR be completed for each tenured faculty member no less often than once every six years. This is done in combination with the annual review. Individual notice of at least six months of intent to evaluate is provided by the Department Chair. The six-year evaluation is carried out by an appropriate faculty committee at the level of the department. The Chair of the department communicates the result of the evaluation in writing to the faculty member and to the Dean. The Dean reports the results to the Provost’s Office.

For additional information, see EVPP: Faculty Evaluation > “Annual and Comprehensive Periodic Review of Faculty”.

Timeline 

Tenured faculty are evaluated every six years in rank, during the sixth year. (For information about unpaid leave and the CPR clock, see "Effects of leave - CPR" below.)

...

• Unsuccessful promotion to tenured full professor

  • Must be accompanied by review by a tenured faculty CPR committee to determine CPR rating

Examples

a) If an Associate Professor in their sixth year of rank goes up for promotion to full Professor, the promotion review will count as their CPR.

• If the promotion is successful, their CPR six-year clock is reset.

• If the promotion is not successful, then the promotion review still counts as a CPR. After the unsuccessful promotion determination is made, the candidate's dean will be asked to consult with a tenured faculty CPR committee to provide the associated CPR rating by May 31st, of that year. The start of the timeline for the candidate's next CPR is then reset.
  

b) If an Associate Professor goes up for promotion before their sixth year in rank and is successful, the CPR six-year clock is reset.

• If the promotion is not successful, they continue until their sixth year when the CPR is due.

Effects of leave on CPR

CPR "clocks" do not stop. If the faculty member is on a personal Leave Without Pay (LWOP) for medical reasons during the sixth year, they may request a deferral (see "Deferral of CPR" below). Personal Leave Without Pay for medical reasons begins only after all paid leave balances have been exhausted.
