Faculty play an important role in shared governance surrounding RTP at UVU by serving on department RTP committees, the Faculty Senate RTP & Appeals Committee, and the University Tenure Advisory Committee.
Department RTP Committees
Each department (or, in some cases, a cluster of departments or an entire college/school) has an RTP committee composed of tenured faculty. This committee is responsible for coordinating RTP processes for the department, including developing department RTP guidelines, procedures, and criteria; evaluating faculty peers for recommendation for retention, tenure, and promotion; and facilitating the training and mentoring of faculty in the department with regard to RTP.
The composition of the RTP committee is outlined in Policy 637 § 5.2 and Policy 632 § 5.8. RTP committees serve a 3-year term, and the chair is elected annually from among its members. RTP committee chairs for 2021-22 are listed below:
