Faculty going up for review do not need to complete their annual evaluation, however, we highly recommend completing the Annual Activity Report in Faculty180 to prevent gaps in data. Per the CBA 2022-24 Article 9.2.1 Annual Activity Report/Review- "The UNAC member shall submit, by September 12 a current CV and Annual Activity Report including a brief self-evaluation narrative unless the UNAC member is undergoing a fourth-year comprehensive review, tenure review, promotion review, or post tenure review."

Faculty Rank Promotion Review for Administrators

Administrators who are not members of a bargaining unit due to  an administrative assignment are able to stand for promotion. This promotion process is not intended to apply to executives, even though they may have a faculty title and may carry out some faculty duties.  You will not be subject to post-tenure review during this administrative assignment, nor will your administrative performance be considered in any future post-tenure review. Please contact the Office of the Provost regarding the promotion process for administrators who opt to stand for promotion.
