Document describing process for Electing FAS Members of the Faculty Standards Review Committee (FRSC)

A limited number of special, competitive one-semester Professional Development Leaves will be made available each year to members of the instructional faculty who present compelling proposals for projects they wish to undertake while on leave from teaching. During the semester of leave they will receive full salary and benefits and be relieved of all teaching and administrative responsibilities.

Hiring, reappointment, promotion, and tenure decisions are among the most important decisions made within the FAS. These decisions shape the future not only of a particular department but also the university as a whole. Full faculty investment in these decisions is essential. As a fundamental practice, all faculty members participating in promotion and tenure decisions should thoroughly review all of the relevant materials in advance of the department meeting and vote on a case.
