The Provost


The final review of applications for promotion is made by the Provost of the University. Before the Provost rejects recommendations made by the committee, he or she must report to it the reasons for the rejection and will meet with the committee to try to resolve the disagreement.

Following consultation with the committee, the Provost forwards approved recommendations to the President for approval by the Board of Trustees. Should the Provost fail to support an application for promotion, the reasons for the decision will be given to the candidate, the department committee, the department chairperson, the college committee, the dean or director, and the University Committee on Promotions and Tenure.
