Introduction
A Post Tenure Review (PTR) is a periodic evaluation that is scheduled to occur every five years after the awarding of Tenure. Every PTR portfolio is due on or around October 1st at the beginning of every 5th academic year of employment.
*The only exceptions to this time frame are:
-
If a faculty member is on leave during the academic year they are scheduled to be evaluated
- The PTR portfolio will be due the next academic year
- If a faculty member is undergoing an RTP evaluation for Promotion to Professor
- If a Faculty member has entered the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), however an appropriate administrator can still request a FERP faculty member to undergo a PTR
The process is governed by UPS 210.020. The purpose of this periodic evaluation is to be a "consultation of colleagues, whose aim should be the encouragement and maintenance of excellence; an acknowledgment of positive contributions made by tenured faculty; and a time to reflect on opportunities for growth and professional development."
