Purpose 

The Promotion Review Committee (PRC) meets with the Vice President for Academic Affairs during the fall semester to revise the faculty promotion calendar as appropriate. The Vice President for Academic Affairs will initiate the faculty promotion process by notifying faculty of promotion procedures. The PRC will then inform the eligible faculty of the promotion procedures, promotion materials required, and deadlines for submission for promotion materials. The PRC’s primary responsibility is to evaluate the materials included in each candidate’s promotion folder and make recommendations to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
