The CMCI college processes for reappointment/comprehensive review, tenure, and promotion of tenure tenured/tenure-track faculty differ only with regard to timeline. In all cases, the following steps are required:

  1. CMCI Faculty Affairs will create an electronic dossier folder for each candidate containing the VCAC checklist and corresponding instructions for naming files added to the dossier. The folder will be maintained on the CMCI Faculty Affairs Microsoft Office 365 One Drive. Each folder will be shared with the appropriate department administrator(s) and will be accessible only with IdentiKey authentication. The administrator(s) will be responsible for uploading all VCAC required dossier materials to the folder and applying the appropriate naming convention to each document (see appendix 1 below).
  2. Once all VCAC required materials have been added to the dossier and BEFORE the Primary Unit Evaluation Committee (PUEC) conducts its formal review of the dossier, the administrator must inform CMCI Faculty Affairs that the dossier is ready to be reviewed for completeness and policy compliance before advancing to its first stage of review.
  3. Once CMCI Faculty Affairs has confirmed that the dossier is complete and ready for review, the dossier will be provided to the PUEC for its review.
  4. Once the PUEC has completed its review and produced the 鈥淪tatement of the PUEC,鈥� the administrator must provide the 鈥淪tatement鈥� to CMCI Faculty Affairs for a brief review for process and policy compliance before it can be added to the dossier.
  5. Once CMCI Faculty Affairs has confirmed that the 鈥淪tatement of the PUEC鈥� satisfies necessary process and policy requirements, the 鈥淪tatement鈥� will be added to the dossier and the case will be presented to the primary unit for consideration and vote.
  6. When the unit has completed its review, the administrator should submit the 鈥淐hair鈥檚 Report鈥� to CMCI Faculty Affairs for review and addition to the dossier.
    • At this time, the 鈥淪tatement of the PUEC鈥� and 鈥淭he Chair鈥檚 Report鈥� should be provided by the unit to the candidate.
  7. CMCI Faculty Affairs will coordinate with the CMCI Personnel Committee for their review of the dossier.
  8. Upon completion of their review, the Personnel Committee will deliver its 鈥淪tatement of the Dean鈥檚 Review Committee鈥� to CMCI Faculty Affairs for review and inclusion in the dossier.
  9. CMCI Faculty Affairs will coordinate with the Dean for their review of the dossier.
  10. Upon completion of their review, the Dean will deliver the 鈥淒ean鈥檚 Recommendation鈥� to CMCI Faculty Affairs for review and inclusion in the dossier.
    • At this time, the 鈥淪tatement of the Dean鈥檚 Review Committee鈥� and the 鈥淒ean鈥檚 Recommendation鈥� will be provided to the candidate by CMCI Faculty Affairs.
  11. CMCI Faculty Affairs will prepare and submit the electronic dossier to the CUB Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) for review and advancement to the Vice Chancellor鈥檚 Advisory Committee (VCAC).
