Unit 18 Excellence Review Process [for Initial Continuing Lecturer appointments]
Per Article 7B.D.7, the University shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that a qualified Unit 18 faculty member participates on such review committees although no individual shall be required to serve on the committee.
Per the above article, it is imperative to have a Unit 18 member participate in all Initial Continuing Lecturer review process. There are by two ways in which this can be achieved:
- Department Ad Hoc/Review Committee. A Unit 18 member must be included in the committee and this committee is not confidential and must be disclosed to the candidate.
- Faculty meeting discussion of the candidate’s case. If a department does not constitute an Ad Hoc/Review Committee for Initial Continuing cases, a Unit 18 faculty member must be present at the time the case is being discussed at a faculty meeting. The Unit 18 faculty member is allowed to participate in the faculty discussion. However, they will not vote on the case as they are not academic senate members.
