Full Professor Reviews

Every five years following promotion to full professor, each faculty member will write a letter taking stock of the preceding five years and outlining plans for the next five years. The letter should reflect on teaching, scholarship, college service and other activities. This letter, together with teaching evaluations for the preceding five years, and written scholarly work or summaries, where appropriate, is sent to the Department Chair or, if the Department Chair is not a full professor or is the individual being reviewed, to another full professor chosen by the Chair and the Dean of Faculty. These materials form the basis of a three-way conversation among the Dean, the professor being reviewed, and the Department Chair or substitute. Prior to the conversation, the Department Chair or substitute shall read through the teaching evaluations and prepare a summary for the conversation. By mutual agreement, this review could also occur in the fourth or sixth year following promotion or the preceding review
