3. Unfinished Business

a. Creation of ad hoc committee on Promotion & Tenure guidelines review and revision. The committee will be asked to look at the following items:

    1. Need to clarify the meaning of “meets” vs “exceeds” expectations and how these ratings should be used at all levels of evaluation.
    2. Need clarification on how, or if, there can be an overall recommendation for promotion if a candidate receives at least one “does not meet” on any individual category.
    3. Need to clarify for faculty P&T how work at previous institutions will be counted towards P&T here when credit is given towards tenure for work elsewhere. 
    4. Need to clarify the evaluation of “comparable standards”.
    5. Provost has agree to provide a breakdown of renewal decisions by race and gender.  Should we add that to the P&T bylaws, or to the P&T guidelines to formalize it in the future?
    6. At the Senate meeting of May 1, 2017, a request was made to provide data on annual renewals for tenure-track faculty that would be combined with data on promotion and tenure candidates for the annual P&T report to the senate.  The ad hoc committee shall explore how a procedure can be put into place to obtain these data.
    7. The ad hoc committee shall review previous P&T Committee reports to the senate for other suggested revisions.

b. External Program Review (M. Fallon)

c. University Athletics Board bylaws (Committee on Committees)
