Mid-Tenure Review Checklist

Sample Letter

THE REDBOOK

G. Pre-Tenure Review

Each probationary faculty member shall be reviewed at the mid-point of his or her probationary period at the University. The review shall be conducted at the same level of rigor and by the same process as in a tenure review within the unit, except that extramural evaluations shall not be required. The results of the review shall be made available to the faculty member. The purpose of the review is to inform the faculty member of the unit's perception of the faculty member's progress in meeting the standards for tenure. In units without subdivisions, the dean shall conduct the review. In units with departments or divisions, the chair or director may conduct the review but it shall not be final until approved by the dean.
