4.1 Guidelines for Academic Unit Review Committee Composition-Advice on Additional Appointment and Promotion

Each academic unit is charged to establish procedures so that its faculty can provide advice to the academic administrator regarding recommendations for various academic personnel actions, e.g., merit consultation, appointments, additional appointments, and promotion. The following are general guidelines for the composition of such peer review committees.

4.1.1 Eligibility for membership on academic unit peer review committees is limited to faculty members (both in the tenure system, and in the HP system) appointed at Michigan State University and/or at peer higher educational institutions (this includes HP faculty members). Individual Departmental bylaws should be consulted as membership on Academic Unit Peer Review Committees, e.g., Departmental Promotion and Tenure Committees, and Departmental Executive Committees, is defined by unit bylaws.

4.1.2 Women and minority faculty members should participate in  academic unit peer review committee processes for all academic personnel actions for which peer review is used in the Department/Unit.  Specific procedures for such involvement should be developed as consistent with university procedures, college and academic unit bylaws (including HP faculty members).
