DRAFT GUIDELINES
Promotion Process for Adjunct Faculty Members

Promotion review of adjunct faculty members will be considered in the same cycle as for regular faculty, with the same deadline for submission of the Dean’s recommendation to the Provost.  However, colleges may use an abbreviated process for review as long as the same procedure is used for all such reviews, and they may set different internal deadlines for each step.

The Provost recommends the following minimum requirements for these reviews:

The dossier should include, at a minimum:

1.       A current CV

2.       Copies of any teaching evaluations and information about teaching quantity since appointment or the last promotion

3.       A brief (1-2 page) personal statement of his/her teaching responsibilities and/or scholarship. 

4.       Three letters of review.  These may include letters from UI faculty members.

The process should include, at a minimum:

1.       Review of the dossier and a vote by the DCG; a written report is not required.

2.   Recommendation by the DEO.

3.   Review and vote of the CCG; a written report is not required.

4.   Recommendation by the Dean to the Provost.

The candidate should be informed of the recommendations at the conclusion of both the departmental and collegiate reviews, and given the opportunity to respond to errors of fact in either the DEO or Dean’s letters.
