SECTION 10: APPEALS OF FACULTY PERSONNEL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

The dean for academic affairs has the responsibility of conveying the reasons for a negative recommendation of the committee.

If the faculty member involved desires a fuller explanation of the reasons for the negative recommendation in his or her case, he/she will have the right to a hearing before the committee.

The faculty member always has the right of appeal to the president of the college who may, in exceptional cases and in the light of certain stated questions, ask the committee to restudy and reassess the case and subsequently to report its recommendations. Ultimately, the decision of the president to support or overturn the Faculty Personnel Committee recommendation is final.
