Academic Rank and Promotion in Rank- Board of Visitors Definition of Academic Rank
- Full-time faculty members holding the following academic ranks are
eligible to be considered for tenure after a suitable probationary period,
and time at Old Dominion University in these ranks is counted toward
the probationary period.
Professor - Those appointed or promoted to this rank, which is
one of the highest honors that the university can bestow, are teacher-scholars
of genuinely national standing who have made recognized contributions
to the university and to their disciplines. They are expected to
have demonstrated excellence in teaching, to have performed recognized
and outstanding research in their fields of specialization, and to
have been pre-eminent in professional service. Although few will
excel equally in the three areas of teaching, research, and service,
all appointed or promoted to the rank of professor are expected to
have made some demonstrable contribution in each area. Except under
most unusual circumstances, the highest terminal degree in the field
is required. Associate Professor - Appointment or promotion to the rank of
associate professor is based on established high quality of performance
in teaching, research, and service and pre-eminence in at least one
of these areas. Except under most unusual circumstances, the highest
terminal degree normally attainable in the field is required. Assistant Professor - Appointment or promotion to the rank of
assistant professor requires the highest terminal degree normally
held in the field or its clear equivalent. Evidence of promise in
teaching, research, and service is required. Faculty members holding
the rank of assistant professor may be considered for tenure only
if promotion to associate professor is simultaneously considered.
- Full-time faculty members holding the following ranks are not eligible
for tenure, but time at Old Dominion University in these ranks is counted
as part of the probationary period for tenure, except as noted in paragraph
1.a. below.
- Instructor - Appointment to the rank of instructor is based on
evidence of promise in teaching. Instructors normally hold master's
degrees in their areas of specialization, but occasional exceptions
can be made for fields in which the master's degree is the
highest terminal degree normally attainable. There are three types
of instructors at Old Dominion University:
Faculty members normally lacking the highest terminal degree
who are employed to teach undergraduate courses, usually at the freshman and sophomore levels
- They normally receive annual appointments for a period of three
years, but in exceptional circumstances they may be reappointed
for a maximum of three additional annual contracts. They must
be informed in writing at the time of the original appointment
that their positions are not permanent and that they will not
be eligible to be considered for tenure. Instructors who are terminal degree candidates - Candidates
for a terminal degree may be given annual appointments as instructors
if they can provide evidence that they will complete all requirements
for the terminal degree within the first year of teaching at
Old Dominion University. An instructor in this category who completes
this work, and whose department recommends reappointment, is
given a second annual contract as an assistant professor and
is eligible for tenure at the end of the usual probationary period.
An instructor in this category who completes all degree requirements
during the first semester at Old Dominion University is given
the title of assistant professor for the second semester. An
instructor in this category who does not complete all requirements
for the terminal degree within the first year of employment is
normally not reappointed for a second year, but a second annual
contract as instructor may be granted with the approval of the
chair, dean, and provost and vice president for academic affairs;
if all requirements for the degree are completed within the second
year, the instructor is promoted to the rank of assistant professor.
If all degree requirements are not completed during the second
year, a third and terminal contract as instructor may be granted
but the faculty member is not eligible for consideration for
promotion or tenure. Tenure-track, master's-level instructors - In certain
professional departments in which the master's degree is
the terminal degree, faculty members who have three years or
less of full-time teaching experience at the college level are
normally appointed initially to the rank of instructor. Such
faculty members are eligible for promotion to the rank of assistant
professor after two years in the instructor's rank on the
recommendation of the chair and dean and on the approval of the
provost and vice president for academic affairs. In exceptional
cases, where professional excellence is clearly demonstrated,
the requirement of prior experience may be waived with the approval
of the chair, dean, and provost and vice president for academic
affairs. This type of instructor can be appointed only in academic
fields in which the provost and vice president for academic affairs
has previously approved such appointments on the recommendation
of the chair and dean concerned. At present, instructors of this
type are employed in the areas of applied music, dance, dental
hygiene, engineering technology, nursing, physical therapy, and
studio art.
- The following full-time academic ranks do not carry tenure, but if
a faculty member who has held one of these ranks is subsequently appointed
to a tenurable position as described in section A, time spent at Old
Dominion University in one of these ranks may be counted as part of the
probationary period for tenure.
Visiting professor - This rank is reserved for scholars of distinction
who agree to come to the university for one year or less in order
to serve a particular need in a college or department. Credentials
equal to those required of a full professor are required. Visiting associate professor - This rank is reserved for scholars
of distinction who agree to come to the university for one year or
less in order to serve a particular need in a college or department.
Credentials equal to those required of an associate professor are
required. Visiting assistant professor - This rank is reserved for
scholars of distinction who agree to come to the university for one
year or less in order to serve a particular need in a college or
department. Credentials equal to those required of an assistant professor
are required.
- The following academic ranks do not carry tenure, and time at Old
Dominion University in these ranks is not counted as part of the probationary
period for tenure. These ranks are intended to meet the university's
need to fill special instructional roles which differ from the traditional
university faculty role, preparation, and expectation. All appointments
and reappointments are contingent upon available funding.
Assistant instructor - This is a full-time rank requiring at least
a bachelor's degree in the area of specialization. Except under
unusual circumstances, assistant instructors do not teach courses
carrying degree credit. - Lecturer - This is a full-time rank that requires an appropriate
master's degree and evidence of teaching ability. Demonstrated
expertise in a specific field may also be required. Persons appointed
to this rank are expected to assume a predominantly instructional
role, at undergraduate or graduate levels, and participate in other
professional service activities normally assigned to or expected
of full-time faculty.
Persons initially appointed at the rank of lecturer will be evaluated
and a decision made concerning their reappointment on an annual
basis, according to the policy on "Reappointment or Nonreappointment
of Faculty." In addition, during the fall semester of the
fifth year of service, persons holding this rank will receive a
major faculty review. This review will be conducted by the dean
and will include an in-depth evaluation of the individual's
teaching effectiveness and other professional activities, as well
as the needs of the department. The purposes of this review shall
be to evaluate the individual's performance and determine
whether he or she should be retained beyond the fifth year. An
evaluation report should be submitted to the provost and vice president
for academic affairs following completion of the review at the
college level. If the evaluation is positive and the dean's recommendation
on retention is affirmative, the individual may be offered an appointment
for the next three academic years. Those persons who are reappointed
in this manner shall be subject to another in-depth review conducted
by the dean during the fall semester of the third year of the reappointment.
Lecturers may be reappointed for additional three-year periods
by utilizing the same procedure as described above. If the decision is made not to retain the lecturer, either after
the fifth year of initial service or subsequent three-year appointments,
he or she will be notified of termination according to the appropriate
schedule contained in the policy on "Reappointment or Nonreappointment
of Faculty" and may request a review of the nonreappointment
decision by the provost and vice president for academic affairs
as provided by the same policy. - Senior Lecturer - This is a full-time rank which requires an appropriate
master's degree, demonstrated expertise in the field, a sustained
record of effective performance in teaching and professional service,
evidence of continued development and study in the field, and a minimum
of five years' experience at the rank of lecturer or equivalent.
Persons appointed to this rank are expected to assume a predominantly
instructional role, at undergraduate or graduate levels, and participate
in other professional service activities normally assigned to or
expected of full-time faculty.
Persons initially appointed at the rank of senior lecturer will
be evaluated and a decision made concerning their reappointment
on an annual basis, according to the policy on the "Reappointment
or Nonreappointment of Faculty." In addition, during the
fall semester of the fifth year of service, persons holding this
rank will receive a major faculty review. This review will be conducted
by the dean and will include an in-depth evaluation of the individual's
teaching effectiveness and other professional activities as well
as needs of the department. The purposes of this review shall be
to evaluate the individual's performance and determine whether
he or she should be retained beyond the fifth year. An evaluation
report should be submitted to the provost and vice president for
academic affairs following completion of the review at the college
level. If the evaluation is positive and the dean's recommendation
on retention is affirmative, the individual may be offered an appointment
for the next three academic years. Those persons who are reappointed
in this manner shall be subject to another in-depth review conducted
by the dean during the fall semester of the third year of the reappointment.
Senior lecturers may be reappointed for additional three-year periods
by utilizing the same procedure as described above. If the decision is made not to retain the senior lecturer either
after the fifth year of initial service or subsequent three-year
appointments, he or she will be notified of termination according
to the appropriate schedule contained in the policy on "Reappointment
or Nonreappointment of Faculty" and may request a review
of the nonreappointment decision by the provost and vice president
for academic affairs as provided by the same policy. Promotion to the rank of senior lecturer from the rank of lecturer
shall be upon the recommendation of the department, chair, and
college promotion and tenure committee to the dean of the college.
If the dean decides against the promotion, the person may request
a review by the provost and vice president for academic affairs.
The decision of the provost and vice president for academic affairs
is final. Faculty of Practice - Faculty of practice are appointed at the rank of professor, associate professor, or assistant professor. Such appointments are generally made for a specified term and do not lead to tenure or promotion during the specified term. A faculty of practice appointment may be for a term of one to three years and may be renewable under exceptional circumstances. Faculty members in such positions may be employed to work on a specific project or series of projects that could involve teaching, research or service or some combination of these activities. If used in teaching, they need to meet all university credential requirements. Employment of such faculty in project-related positions may be limited by the funds available. Faculty of practice may serve on some university-wide committees and, depending on college and department policies, may serve on some department and college committees. They cannot vote on appointments, retention, promotion, or tenure of faculty. Initial appointment or reappointment of faculty of practice must be reviewed and recommended for appointment or reappointment by the promotion and tenure committee of the department in question. A tenure-track faculty member who is denied tenure shall not be eligible for a faculty of practice appointment for five years after being denied tenure. Faculty of practice appointments should not exceed 10% of the total number of tenured/tenure-track positions in a college.
Intercollegiate coach - This is a full-time rank normally requiring
a master's degree and a record of demonstrated performance
in the area of specialization. Persons holding this rank devote half
time or less to the instruction of credit students. These positions
are normally funded from both Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth sources. Artist-in-residence - The holder of this position is a distinguished
practitioner of the fine arts, employed either full time or part
time by the university. In most cases, an artist-in-residence devotes
half time or less to the instruction of credit students. The rest
of the time, for a full-time faculty member, is devoted to noncredit
course work and other public service activities; to unstructured
instruction to university students; to professional service to the
community; or to any combination of these activities. The main criterion
for appointment is pre-eminence in an artistic field, and the normal
academic credentials, such as advanced degrees or experience in university
teaching, are not necessarily required. Performer-in-residence - The description of this position is basically
equivalent to that of artist-in-residence, except that the holder
is a distinguished practitioner of the performing arts whose service
to the university and the community may include performances available
to the university community and to the region. Writer-in-residence - The description of this position is basically
equivalent to that of artist-in-residence, except that the holder
is a creative writer of distinction. Research professor - Faculty members in this position, which may
be either full time or part time, are devoting most of their efforts
to research and are normally not teaching more than one course a
semester. These positions are normally funded from non-Commonwealth
funds. A research professor must meet the criteria demanded of a
full professor in the relevant department. Personnel with the title of research professor may chair doctoral and master's committees provided they are certified as graduate faculty. Research personnel are subject to all university, college and department policies and procedures governing graduate teaching, program implementation, and oversight of graduate research and must undergo the same formal academic review and graduate certification review as required of tenured and tenure-track faculty members Research associate professor - This position has the same characteristics
as that of research professor except that those holding it meet the
criteria for appointment to the rank of associate professor in the
department(s) to which they are attached. Personnel with the title of research associate professor may chair doctoral and master's committees provided they are certified as graduate faculty. Research personnel are subject to all university, college and department policies and procedures governing graduate teaching, program implementation, and oversight of graduate research and must undergo the same formal academic review and graduate certification review as required of tenured and tenure-track faculty members. Research assistant professor - This position has the same characteristics
as that of research associate professor except that those holding
it meet the criteria for assistant professor in the department(s)
to which they are attached. Personnel with the title of research assistant professor may chair doctoral and master's committees provided they are certified as graduate faculty. Research personnel are subject to all university, college and department policies and procedures governing graduate teaching, program implementation, and oversight of graduate research and must undergo the same formal academic review and graduate certification review as required of tenured and tenure-track faculty members. Research associate - This position has the same characteristics
as that of research assistant professor except that those holding
it meet the criteria for instructor in the department(s) to which
they are attached. Postdoctoral research associate - This position is generally reserved
for a person who has recently completed his or her doctoral degree.
While the primary employment activity will be research related, some
teaching may be allowed. In general, these positions are funded through
non-Commonwealth funds. Adjunct professor - This rank is awarded to persons engaged in
part-time teaching or special services who meet the criteria demanded
of a full professor in the department(s) to which they are attached. Adjunct associate professor - This position is awarded to persons
engaged in part-time teaching or special services who meet the criteria
established for associate professor in the department(s) to which
they are attached. Adjunct assistant professor - This position is awarded to persons
engaged in part-time teaching or special services who meet the criteria
established for assistant professor in the department(s) to which
they are attached. Adjunct instructor - This rank is held by part-time faculty members
who meet the criteria established for instructor in the department(s)
to which they are attached. Adjunct assistant instructor - This rank is held by part-time
faculty members who meet the criteria established for assistant instructor
in the department(s) to which they are attached. Adjunct clinical faculty, adjunct community faculty - The titles
adjunct clinical faculty or adjunct community faculty (as appropriate),
with their respective ranks, may be awarded to persons engaged in
part-time teaching or special services relating to the practical
instruction of students, and who meet the professional and academic
criteria for those ranks established in the department(s) to which
they are attached. These titles pertain to persons who are not normally
paid a salary by the university, but who supervise activities designed
to give students practical experience in a given profession. Other - The president may recommend to the Board of Visitors the
establishment of other nontenured positions to allow the appointment
of persons distinguished in their fields but not covered by any of
the above.
- Promotion in Rank
- Board of Visitors Policy
Except for promotion to the rank of assistant professor, all promotions
in rank are based on evaluation of the faculty member's performance
in teaching, research, and service over the total time in the previous
rank as compared to the criteria established by the Board of Visitors
for the rank being considered and any other criteria established
by the department or college. Promotion to the rank of associate professor must occur at the
time of the tenure award, except in the case of certain faculty members
who were tenured in the rank of assistant professor prior to June
30, 1982. Such persons may be considered for promotion to the rank
of associate professor during any subsequent year under the same
policy and procedures as are used for promotion to the rank of full
professor. - Promotion to the rank of full professor is normally considered
no earlier than during the sixth year of a faculty member's
service as associate professor at Old Dominion University. Exceptions
are made only under the following circumstances:
A faculty member who has held the rank of associate professor
at another institution and was initially appointed to Old Dominion
University at the rank of associate professor may be considered
for promotion at the time of the award of tenure. A faculty member of extraordinary merit may be considered
for promotion to the rank of full professor before the sixth
year as associate professor at Old Dominion University.
The president, upon the recommendation of the Faculty Senate,
shall establish procedures for consideration of promotion to the
rank of full professor (and of designation as eminent scholar) and
of promotion to the rank of associate professor for those tenured
as assistant professors prior to June 30, 1982. Such procedures shall
require consideration and recommendation by faculty members at the
department and college level, the chair, the dean, and the University
Promotion and Tenure Committee. The decision concerning promotion
is to be made by the provost and vice president for academic affairs.
If the provost and vice president for academic affairs decides against
promotion, the faculty member may request a review by the president.
The decision of the president is final.
- Procedures for Promotion in Rank
These procedures apply to promotion to the rank of full professor.
(In the case of those faculty members who held tenure and the rank
of assistant professor in June 1982, these procedures also apply
to promotion to the rank of associate professor. Otherwise, promotion
to the rank of associate professor is part of the tenure consideration
and is dealt with in accordance with the policy concerning tenure.)
Promotion to the rank of assistant professor is made by the provost
and vice president for academic affairs following recommendation
by the chair and dean. These procedures are designed to implement
the Board of Visitors policy concerning promotion. The board policy
is governing in all promotion cases. - Considerations Concerning Promotion
Each faculty committee and administrator considering a promotion
case must specifically consider factors listed below as they
apply to each case in the written recommendations that are submitted
up the line to the provost and vice president for academic affairs.
In the case of committees, the vote must be recorded in the recommendation,
and the reasons produced by the minority members must be specified. Each committee and administrator making a recommendation concerning
promotion considers evidence of the faculty member's performance
over the total time in which the previous rank has been held
as compared to the guidelines for the rank being considered as
established by the Board of Visitors and any other guidelines
established by the department or college. The total rank structure of the department should be considered. At the least, the committees and administrators should examine
faculty information sheets, chair evaluations, dean's evaluations,
and any other evidence submitted by the faculty member, the chair
of the department, or any other relevant source. It is the responsibility of the department chair and the departmental promotion and tenure committee to provide an assessment of the quality of the publications for the faculty being considered for promotion. The evidence should address the quality of the journals and the reputation of book and other such publishers.
- In the case of promotion to full professor, external evaluation of the faculty member's research and scholarly activity by nationally recognized experts in the field of specialization will be required.
The responsibility for initiating the external review, securing the reviewers, and forwarding complete review files to the dean, provost and vice president for academic affairs, and the University Promotion and Tenure Committee belongs to the department chair. In promotion of department chairs, the responsibility belongs to the dean. External reviewers with academic positions will hold the same rank or higher than the promotion rank for which the faculty member is being considered; exceptions should be justified by the dean. The department tenure and promotion committee and the candidate will prepare separate lists of potential reviewers. The candidate will review both lists and will document personal and professional relationships with all potential reviewers. The chair will select three reviewers from the candidate's list and three reviewers from the department tenure and promotion committee's list; the chair will provide this list of reviewers to the dean. The dean will submit an agreed upon list to the provost and vice president for academic affairs for final approval prior to initiating the review process. As a general rule, external reviewers should not be co-authors or former mentors of the candidate. The selection of potential external reviewers must be completed before the end of the semester prior to the submission of credentials for promotion. External reviews will be confidential; reviewers will be so advised. Requests for exception to the confidentiality of external reviews should be made directly to the provost and vice president for academic affairs before the reviewers are asked to submit evaluations. If an exception is approved, candidates for promotion will be allowed access to the substance of external reviews, but the authorship of specific external reviews and other identifying information contained therein will remain confidential. All external reviewers will receive a standard letter sent by the chair but prepared by the provost and vice president for academic affairs in consultation with the deans and a copy of the policy on external reviews so their responsibilities will be clear. A curriculum vitae will be required of each external reviewer. Each reviewer will be asked to describe any personal or professional relationship with the candidate. It is the responsibility of the chair to include a curriculum vitae of each reviewer. For promotion of department chairs, the responsibility belongs to the dean. External reviewers will be asked to evaluate all submitted material mailed to them. In the case of the arts, reviewers may be asked to consider works of art or performances. External reviewers will be asked to evaluate: a) the quality of the scholarship or creative work under review; and b) the scholarly reputation (regional, national, international) of the candidate. All candidates for promotion will be required to have their scholarship evaluated by no fewer than four external reviewers. If fewer than four reviews are received, the chair will choose additional reviewers alternately from the lists of the department promotion and tenure committee and of the candidate. The university and college administration will assist departments where reasonable expenses are necessary to obtain appropriate external reviews.
- A candidate for promotion in rank is initially considered by the
faculty members in the department who hold the rank being considered
or above:[1] Only faculty holding the rank of professor are eligible to vote on candidates for promotion to professor.
In the case of large departments, the faculty members in the
rank being considered or above may select a committee from their
ranks to consider and make recommendations concerning promotion.
In that case, it is the responsibility of the committee to elicit
opinions from all faculty members holding the rank considered
or above. In departments where fewer than three members hold appointments in the rank being considered or above, the dean, in consultation with the chair, will appoint enough additional faculty in the rank or above from other disciplines to form a committee of at least three. Candidates for promotion should provide a statement of potential external and/or internal reviewers with whom there is a conflict of interest, e.g., co-authors, co-investigators, etc. No dean, associate dean, assistant dean, or other full-time
administrator or department chair shall attend or participate
in the deliberation of either the departmental, college, or University
Promotion and Tenure Committee. The college committees shall consist of one tenured faculty member from each department in the college. All members of the college promotion and tenure committees shall be elected directly by the faculties they represent for a one-year term renewable twice for a total of three years. This member shall be chosen by majority vote of all full-time, tenure-track teaching and research faculty members of the department, present and voting, by secret ballot before April 15 of each year for the ensuing year. There should be at least three professors on the college committee. No person shall serve on a college promotion and tenure committee for more than three years consecutively but is eligible for reelection after an absence of at least one year. - The University Promotion and Tenure Committee shall consist of one tenured full professor from each of the major degree-granting academic colleges. This member shall be elected by his/her college's promotion and tenure committee(s) by September 15. The University Promotion and Tenure Committee shall elect one of its members as chair.[2] No person shall serve on the University Promotion and Tenure Committee for more than three years consecutively but is eligible for reelection after an absence of at least one year.
The faculty member involved is informed that the committee
is considering promotion in rank and is given an opportunity
either to appear before the committee (or group) considering
the case, or to submit a statement in writing in support of eligibility
for promotion. In case of material developments, additional documentation may be added to the portfolio with the concurrence of the department chair and dean.
The committee or faculty group makes its recommendation concerning
promotion to the chair together with reasons for the recommendation
(including a minority statement in the case of a split vote), and
specifies the vote of the committee. All committee members should vote yes or no. The chair evaluates independently
the credentials of the faculty member, the rank structure of the
department, and any additional evidence presented, either by the
faculty member or from any other source, and makes a recommendation,
with reasons, concerning promotion. If either the departmental committee (or group), or the chair,
or both recommend promotion, the faculty member's credentials
together with the recommendation of the faculty committee and the
chair will be forwarded to a promotion committee of the college for
consideration. This committee will make an independent evaluation
and make a recommendation concerning promotion with reasons (including
reasons of the minority) to the dean. The recommendations will indicate
the vote of the committee. All committee members should vote yes or no. If neither the faculty committee (or group) nor the chair recommends
promotion, the faculty member will not be considered for promotion
in the coming year unless a review by the college promotion committee
and the dean is requested by the faculty member. If a review is requested,
the departmental committee and the chair forward all documents to
the promotion committee of the college, which examines them and makes
a recommendation concerning promotion to the dean. All committee members should vote yes or no. The dean examines
all documents, including the recommendation of the college committee,
and makes a determination concerning promotion. If the dean's
determination is negative and is in accordance with the recommendations
of the departmental committee, the chair, and the college committee,
then the faculty member is not promoted for the coming year. If the
dean's determination is negative and is not in accordance with
all previous recommendations, the faculty member may request a further
review by the provost and vice president for academic affairs. The
decision of the provost and vice president for academic affairs is
final in such cases. The dean, considering all previous recommendations and all credentials,
then makes a recommendation concerning promotion which is forwarded,
with reasons, to the provost and vice president for academic affairs. The University Promotion and Tenure Committee, consisting of one
tenured full professor from each of the major degree-granting academic
colleges, examines the facts and all previous recommendations and
documentation, and makes a recommendation (with reasons, including
minority reasons, if any) concerning promotion, which is forwarded
to the provost and vice president for academic affairs. All committee members should vote yes or no. - On the basis of all the evaluations and recommendations presented,
and after consultation with staff, the provost and vice president
for academic affairs makes a decision concerning promotion for the
coming year. If the recommendations of the committees and administrators
that have previously considered the case have not been in agreement
with one another, or if the provost and vice president for academic
affairs disagrees with the recommendations that have been in agreement
with one another, the provost and vice president for academic affairs
shall consult with the chair, the dean, and the University Promotion
and Tenure Committee before reaching a final decision. The decision
of the provost and vice president for academic affairs will consist
of one of the following:
If the decision of the provost and vice president for academic
affairs is for promotion, the faculty member will receive the higher
rank in the subsequent academic year. The decision of the provost
and vice president for academic affairs will be reported to the president. The faculty member may request that the president review a negative
decision by the provost and vice president for academic affairs.
The decision of the president is final. All promotions are reported by the president to the Board of Visitors. Copies of the recommendations by all committees, chairs, deans and the provost shall be provided to the faculty member being considered for promotion. The faculty member will be provided opportunity to correct any factual misinformation in such recommendations by placing a letter in his or her promotion file at any stage, or up until May 1 to the provost (February 1 for faculty hired mid-year). The above procedures at the departmental and college level may
be suitably adapted for faculty members who hold interdisciplinary
or interdepartmental appointments. The adapted procedures should
be recommended by the promotion and tenure committee of the college
or colleges involved and approved by the dean or deans and the provost
and vice president for academic affairs. Procedures above the college
level will be the same as those designated above in all cases.
- Part-time instructional faculty may be promoted in rank (for example
from adjunct assistant professor to adjunct associate professor) upon
recommendation of the chair and dean to the provost and vice president
for academic affairs. Full documentation of the credentials of the faculty
member being recommended for promotion is required. If the provost and
vice president for academic affairs denies the promotion, the faculty
member may request a review by the president. The decision of the president
is final.
