INTRODUCTION

This rule describes standards and procedures of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering for post tenure review of faculty. It supplements NC State University’s Academic Tenure Policy and Regulation on Post Tenure Review of Faculty. To the extent of any inconsistency, the Academic Tenure Policy and Post Tenure Review Regulation control. The Department Head is responsible for assuring that the procedures as set forth in NCSU REG05.20.04 – Post Tenure Review of Faculty and this Rule are followed.

POST TENURE REVIEW COMMITTEE (PTRC)

2.1 Selection

2.1.1 The PTRC shall consist of three tenured full professors appointed by the Department Head after consultation with the DVF faculty. PTRC members will serve staggered three-year terms with one new member being appointed each year. All tenured professors in the department are eligible to serve on the PTRC, unless they will be reviewed during the term. If a PTRC member leaves the committee prior to end of term, the Department Head will appoint a replacement after consultation with DVF faculty.

2.1.2 In any given academic year, the member of the PTRC who is serving for his or her last year will chair the committee. The PTRC Chair should familiarize himself or herself with the applicable policies and regulations and this rule.

2.2 Meeting Schedule

The PTRC Chair will meet with the Department Head early in the fall semester to learn who will be reviewed during that year and what the schedule will be. The main review will be held in the spring after the Department has assembled the required materials, as set forth in section 5.2 of NCSU REG05.20.04 – Post Tenure Review of Faculty, from each faculty member to be reviewed.

The PTRC Chair will schedule all meetings, coordinate with the Department Head, and prepare and transmit reports from the committee to the Head and to the faculty members reviewed.
