C. Voting for Tenure and Promotion

Tenure and promotion recommendations shall normally be made by a single vote. Under rare circumstances, a committee, the dean, or provost and president may vote to recommend for tenure only and not promotion. In these extremely rare cases, the committee must articulate the special circumstances that warrant a split vote. If tenure is granted, the college committee, together with the dean, shall articulate by the end of the academic year specific and precise criteria that will define the threshold for the candidate’s promotion.
