Either the Dean or a faculty member may initiate this discussion. Any voting member of the Department may request that the Dean review the desirability of continuing the appointment of the Chair.
ARTICLE 3: FACULTY REVIEW AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW
3.1 The Chair will review the status of each individual East Lansing faculty member at least once during the academic year, assisted by the department’s Advisory Committee on Annual Performance and Merit (see 5.3). This process must be done for faculty in a timely fashion to meet University reappointment, promotion and tenure guidelines. The process will consist of a review of the individual's curriculum vitae and credentials, a meeting between the Chair and the individual to discuss contributions to and position within the faculty structure, along with the individual’s plans for the future and his/her priorities. The Chair will inform each faculty member of the results in writing within three (3) months of their meeting.
3.2 Faculty shall be informed of the factors used for the annual review. Faculty performance evaluations will help determine merit salary adjustments and will be reflected in reappointment, promotion and tenure preparation. Assigned duties and percent assignments are to be considered in all evaluations.
3.3 Following completion of the annual review process, the Chair will make recommendations for further review for reappointment, promotion and/or tenure to the Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) Committee (see 5.4 below). The Chair’s review will take place in sufficient time for this consultation with the RPT Committee. The RPT Committee will then independently review all faculty eligible for reappointment, promotion and tenure, and submit a list of faculty to be reviewed in the next cycle to the Chair early enough for definitive planning.
3.4 In November of each year, the Chair will review the "Tenure System Reappointment and Promotion" and "Review of Health Program Faculty" lists provided by the Assistant Provost and Assistant Vice President for Academic Human Resources. The Chair will meet with the Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee to discuss and ensure that no faculty member in either the tenure system or HP Appointment System has been overlooked. This meeting will take place in time to submit the final list to the Dean.
3.5 University policy dictates that recommendations for tenure-system faculty appointments, reappointments, promotion and tenure, extensions of probationary periods, promotion and tenure originate in the primary academic units. Peer-review procedures for reappointment for faculty are as defined by the rules of tenure,* HP as defined by the HP Faculty Appointment System, and temporary faculty by the end-date appointment subject to renewal. This process is in addition to annual reviews. This peer review process in CHM serves the University objectives of maintaining and improving academic strength and quality. The Chair shall trigger the process for all faculty in order to meet the appropriate deadline dates as outlined in Appendix I. The Chair shall provide all faculty notification of deadline dates established by the college and university.
ARTICLE 4: REGULATIONS GOVERNING DEPARTMENTAL COMMITTEES
4.1 Purpose: The purpose of standing committees is to advise the Chair on departmental matters.
4.2 Nominations and Elections of Members:
4.2.1 Nomination for vacancies on standing committees of the department, college and university will be solicited from the faculty. Self-nominations will be encouraged. Should insufficient nominations be forthcoming, a nominating committee consisting of chairs of all departmental standing committees will nominate candidates for vacancies in their respective committees and for any other department, college or university committees. Nominations will be solicited for departmental standing committees in coordination with nominations for college, university and other appropriate committees. The number of candidates for each committee vacancy will not exceed five and will be proportionate to the number of vacancies. The Chair and any department members already holding offices on three committees will not be eligible for nomination.
4.2.2 Departmental committee elections will be held by mail or e-mail ballot in the spring of each year. Members will assume office on the first day of September and serve until the last day of August for terms of office specified for each committee.
4.2.3 The Chair and the administrative staff will administer elections and report the results to the faculty and the Office of the Dean. Copies of this report will be available in the office of the Department Chair.
4.2.4 Balloting will take place by secret ballot. Election will be by simple majority of those voting.
4.2.5 All voting members of the department are eligible for membership on committees, except the Chair and members already participating on three committees. An attempt will be made to include each member of the department on at least one committee. Nominees should be asked whether or not they wish to run for election before their name is listed on the ballot. The Department Chair will serve in an Ex-Officio capacity on all committees.
4.2.6 Standing committees will elect a chair from their own membership to serve for up to two (2) years.
4.2.7 In order to address issues of diversity and pluralism on standing committees, before election ballots are finalized, the Chair will review the ballot to assure that women and minority faculty are adequately represented. For all committees, the principles of diversity and pluralism will be followed.

4.3.2 Each standing committee of the department will report on its activities to the faculty at least two times per year.
4.3.3 Each standing committee will forward its official proposals to the Chair for consideration of presentation to the faculty of the department.
4.4 Filling Unexpected Vacancies on Standing Committees
Should an unexpected vacancy occur on a departmental standing committee (due
to illness, death, resignation/termination, etc.) and that vacancy creates difficulty in fulfilling the departmental charge to that particular committee, an announcement seeking nominations to fill the vacancy will be made by the Chair or his/her designee at a regularly scheduled faculty meeting. Failing to receive a nomination or receiving only one nomination, the Chair, after conferring with the Executive Committee, may then appoint a replacement. This person would then serve until a spring election to fill the vacancy for the completion of the unexpired term. Should more than one nomination be received by the Chair, a special election by mail ballot will be held and the winner, by majority vote, will be awarded that committee vacancy until the original term of the previous member expires.
4.5 Other Standing Committees
Other standing committees may be established upon recommendation of the Executive Committee and approval of the Faculty.

APPENDIX II:
DEPARTMENT REAPPOINTMENT, PROMOTION AND TENURE CRITERIA
Application of Criteria:
The criteria listed below are meant to offer a template whereby the Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) Committee can, after careful consideration, recommend faculty as eligible for reappointment, promotion, or tenure. The Advisory Committee on Annual Performance and Merit may also utilize these criteria. These criteria are meant as general guidelines and are not intended to be rigid or all-inclusive. Criteria are to be reviewed for each faculty member so that the committees can recognize the faculty member as either meeting basic, distinguished or outstanding criteria in the context of his/her percent assignment, for each of the following 4 performance review categories:
- Teaching and Instruction
- Research, Creative and Scholarly Activities
- Public Service and Clinical Service
- Committee and Administrative Service

In general, for reappointment a candidate should have a total score of at least 9. To advance to associate professor a candidate should have a total score of at least 11, and also attain a committee rating of “distinguished” in at least one category.
