				environment in which these academic pursuits can flourish, and to invest in
				faculty development activities that enhance the success of faculty vitally
				engaged in education, research and service.
(B)
								Purpose of the
			 policy
To provide a process for post tenure
				review.
(C)
								Scope
All tenured faculty of the Judith Herb
				college of education, health science and human service, college of medicine and
				life sciences, college of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences and college of
				nursing, and that are not bound by a collective bargaining
				agreement.
(D)
								Procedure
(1)
									Formal post tenure review. The performance of all
			 tenured faculty members will be reviewed annually by their department
			 chair.
(a)
										A
			 formal tenured faculty review ("formal review") by the department chairperson
			 will be completed not less than every five years from the time of the last
			 formal review. The formal review will include creating or revising mutually
			 agreed upon goals, planning for continued professional development and
			 evaluating performance. The outcomes of these reviews should include continued
			 improvement of faculty performance and continuous career growth. Tenured
			 faculty members will be evaluated on the basis of their contributions in
			 education, scholarship activity and service and in accordance with rule
			 3364-72-03
			 of the Administrative Code (faculty workload measurement and reporting
			 requirements for colleges of UT). If the faculty member fails to cooperate or
			 comply with the remedies ordered by the dean, the matter may result in
			 disciplinary action up to and including termination.
(b)
										A special post
			 tenure review ("special review") will be performed when the president,
			 chancellor and executive vice president for biosciences and health affairs
			 ("chancellor"), provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, dean
			 or chair have good reason to believe there is a significant problem regarding a
			 faculty member's performance of duties or a faculty member's workload pursuant
			 to rule
			 3364-72-03
			 of the Administrative Code. The president, chancellor, or dean will meet with
			 the faculty member and any other appropriate individuals in an attempt to
			 clarify and if necessary rectify the situation. Special reviews will be
			 reserved for the situations that may not be rectified by other means. The
			 president, chancellor, provost or dean will discuss, with the department chair,
			 and the faculty member the nature of the problem(s) and whether a performance
			 improvement plan, as set forth in this paragraph, is necessary.
