VI.D   Appointments

1. Procedure. Recommendations for new term and tenure appointments will be made only after an open search has been conducted with regard to the position.

a. Term Appointments. All proposed appointments, promotions and reappointments are reviewed by the Appointments Committee and forwarded with recommendation to the Governing Board for a vote. Only those individuals at the rank under consideration or higher may vote. No non-tenured faculty may vote on reappointment to ranks equivalent to their own. Appointments recommended by the Governing Board are sent to the Dean who then forwards them to the Provost. If approved by the Provost, the recommendations are forwarded to the Corporation.

b. Tenure Appointments. Recommendation for tenure is voted by the Appointments Committee and the Governing Board and sent to the Provost, who will normally appoint an ad hoc committee to advise him or her on the appointment. If approved by the ad hoc committee, the appointment is returned to the Provost who reviews it. If approved by the Provost, the recommendation is forwarded to the Corporation.

2. Promotion. Faculty members who have held appointments as assistant professor will be considered for promotion not later than the end of the sixth year of their appointment in the School of Art. Promotion, if approved, will normally be to the rank of associate professor on term.

3. Termination. Written notice of non-reappointment of ladder and adjunct faculty members will be as follows. Term appointments of three or more years receive notification at least one year before termination, and appointments of fewer than three academic years receive notice of termination at least six months before the expiration of the appointment. For one-year appointments, there will normally be three months notice. For further information on terminations see Section III.G .
