The committee shall advise the candidate if additional supporting information should be included in the dossier. It is also recommended that the decisions of the committee, and the reasons for those decisions, be recorded in detail and provided to the next level of review. The College of Medicine Standing Committee on Continuing Status will review the dossiers and department recommendations sent to the Dean by the November 1 deadline. This committee consists of at least three members who have achieved continuing status. Members are appointed by the Dean of the College of Medicine for staggered, three year terms.
Every effort is made to have the committee members represent a variety of disciplines.
The college review will consist of evaluation of the dossier for adequacy of content based on the guidelines circulated annually by the Provost, in terms of the criteria set forth in Chapter 4 of the University Handbook , and based on criteria developed by the department and the college for this purpose. Department heads, directors and deans are required by UHAP Section 4.17 to advise candidates in writing of their recommendations regarding continuing status, promotion, nonrenewal, or renewal at the time the recommendations are forwarded to the next reviewer. The Dean will forward the dossiers of all candidates to the Provost. The Dean's recommendation to the Provost may differ from that of the committee, but both decisions are documented and forwarded. All academic or service professionals being considered for continuing status or promotion will be reviewed by a university committee appointed by the Provost for that purpose.
