Tenure track faculty members in their third and sixth pre-tenure years must be evaluated by their department's Committee on Appointments, Promotions, and Tenure (DCAPT).
These evaluations address the faculty member's:
- Knowledge of academic field and commitment to continuing development of this competence
- Dedication to effective teaching
- Commitment to a continuing program of research or other advanced creative activity
- Willingness to assume a fair share of university administrative and service tasks
Reviews take place in the spring of the appropriate year and are managed by the Faculty Affairs Office.
