College of The Arts Governance Documents

Note: Under the new leadership of Dean Chris Garvin who joined the college in August 2020, the faculty and administration in the College of The Arts is undertaking a comprehensive strategic re-visioning and planning process which includes eight faculty taskforce workgroups in addition to the standing committees/councils in the college. These taskforce workgroups are faculty led and membered, each with specific goals targeted for May 2021. One of these workgroups is focused on reviewing and revising the College Tenure & Promotion Guidelines for consolidation and for sufficient specificity to ensure excellence. The goal for May 2021 is to develop a final College Tenure & Promotion Criteria document and have completed the college vote and approval following current procedures described in the College Bylaws (Governance). Once approved by the Office of the Provost the College Tenure & Promotion Guidelines will be forwarded for approval review by UFF. The current College Tenure & Promotion documents will remain binding until such time as the revised guidelines are completed and approved.
