F. Tenure-track and Non-Tenure-track Policies

The following policies suggest the distinction between a "tenure‐track" and "non‐tenure‐track" faculty position:

1. The designation of a faculty position as non‐tenure‐track will be made while an existing position is vacant or before a new position is created. Upon consideration of the recommendation of the department chair, the dean will recommend to the provost whether a position that is to be filled should be tenure‐track or non‐tenure‐track.
2. Both at the time of the advertisement of a position and again during the interview, candidates will be notified and reminded whether the position for which they are applying is tenure‐track or non‐tenure‐track.
3. Letters of appointment will clearly state whether a position is tenure-track or non‐tenure‐track.
4. Non‐tenure‐track positions may be converted to tenure‐track, and their incumbents considered for tenure at the University, by a decision of the provost, on the advice of the dean of the college, the department chair, and members of the department.
5. See appendix H for policies and procedures regarding the termination and dismissal of tenure-track and non-tenured faculty.
