Faculty members with joint appointments must be simultaneously reviewed in both the primary and joint department or college/school.
The respective department chairs and deans are responsible for identifying the need for review, coordinating the reviews, and overseeing the independent reviews to completion.
The department chair (or dean in a non-departmentalized college/school) corresponding to the candidate’s primary appointment is responsible for notifying the department chair(s)/dean(s) corresponding to the candidate’s joint appointment(s) of the review and for coordinating the selection and solicitation of external reviewers with joint units (including feedback from the candidate as described in Subsection D.9(b) and Section E.4).
The units must conduct independent reviews of the candidate based on evaluation of the same dossier.
Section E.1 describes where in the dossier to place materials required by the primary and joint departments.
For joint appointments in departments within the same college/school, independent reviews are conducted by each department followed by review by the CAC and dean.
For joint appointments in different colleges/schools, independent reviews are conducted at the department (where relevant), college/school, and deans’ levels.
- Deans must make independent recommendations regarding promotion and tenure of the candidate.
