F.4 Issues Beyond the Scope of the Promotion and Tenure Process

In rare cases, a tenure or promotion review may raise issues that the tenure and promotion review process is not well suited to resolve.

For example, an accusation about academic integrity may be relevant to a decision about tenure or promotion but may be difficult to resolve completely within the time frame of the tenure and promotion process.

In such cases, the chair or dean, in consultation with the provost and president, may delay the tenure and promotion review until an appropriate investigative body resolves the matter.
