7.5. Rules and Responsibility of the CHASS Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee (CRPTC): University tenure policy provides for a college Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee.

The CHASS Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee will consist of seven tenured full professors, five elected by departments and two appointed by the dean in the interests of balance and diversity. The five elected members will serve staggered two-year terms, with two or three members being elected in alternate years. The appointed members will serve one-year terms. The dean will designate those departments that are to hold elections each year. Not all CHASS departments will be represented on the committee at any one time, but the dean will ensure that all departments are given regular opportunities to elect representatives to the CHASS committee.

The primary purpose of the committee is to review dossiers and endorse (or oppose) candidates for reappointment, promotion and tenure by assessing whether the departments themselves have acted fully in accord with their own procedural and substantive standards. The college committee will not attempt to independently review a candidate's scholarly contributions. The committee will normally assess three things: (1) that departments have procedurally followed their rule and university regulations; (2) that departments have appropriately applied their own substantive standards; and (3) that departments have provided appropriate evidence in the file to support their judgments. The committee will normally base its assessments solely on evidence documented in each candidate's completed written dossier.
