The University Tenure and Promotion Committee (UTPC) is a standing committee of the Faculty. In February 2021, the Faculty voted to establish a university-wide faculty committee to review and evaluate the portfolios of candidates for mid-term review, tenure, and/or promotion in rank. After evaluating the submitted evidence according to approved departmental and University standards, the UTPC makes recommendations to the AVP. Consists of One Full Professor of the Faculty from each division of the Faculty, elected by the Faculty in each division for staggered terms of three years
beginning at the spring commencement. Elections to UTPC must have at least two candidates from different departments for each open seat, and the runner-up in the election for each
seat will serve on UTPC in the event of a recusal. To ensure an odd number of members, additional members may be elected by the Faculty at large to bring the total number to five. The Chair of the committee will be elected from the UTPC membership at the beginning of each fall semester. Members may not serve more than two consecutive terms.
