Information for newly-promoted faculty
...
Contact COE-FacultyAffairs@austin.utexas.edu with questions about the salary increase policy for newly-promoted faculty.
Joint-appointed faculty
Faculty members with joint appointments must be simultaneously reviewed in both the primary and joint department(s)/college(s)/school(s). 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 chair of the candidate’s primary department is responsible for coordinating selection and solicitation of external reviewers with joint units (including feedback from the candidate). The units must conduct independent reviews of the candidate which should entail evaluation of the same dossier contents. For joint appointments in departments within the same college, independent reviews are conducted at the department level and then there is a single college and dean review. For joint appointments in different colleges/schools, independent reviews are conducted at both the department (where relevant), college/school and deans’ levels. Different recommendations may be put forward to the President’s committee.
See additional guidance in the Provost's General Guidelines for the relevant year.
