Request For Delay Of Mandatory Tenure Review Due To Personal or Professional Circumstances - University of Maryland
Request For Delay Of Mandatory Tenure Review Due To Personal or Professional
Circumstances
A tenure-track faculty member may request an extension of time for tenure
consideration based on personal or professional circumstances.
- Personal circumstances are individual or family situations
that substantially impede normal professional development of the faculty
member. (In the case of childbirth or adoption,
a tenure
delay is automatically provided. For more information,
see Notification
of Delay of Mandatory Tenure Review Due to Childbirth or Adoption. Complete
the notification process described there, not this request procedure.)
- Professional circumstances are individual,
departmental, or facility related situations that are beyond the control
of the faculty member and substantially impede normal professional development
of the faculty member.
The procedures for requesting a tenure delay follow. (Note that the
request should be made no later than the end of the Spring semester prior to
the year in which the individual is slated to be reviewed.)
- The tenure-track faculty member should initiate the request by discussing
the request with his/her Chair and then completing the
Request for Delay Of Mandatory Tenure Review
Due To Personal Or Professional Circumstances form.
- If the Chair approves of the request, the form should then be submitted
for the Dean's approval.
- The Dean must sign the form and forward it to the Associate Provost for
Faculty Affairs, 1119 Main Administration Building, for review and approval
by the Provost.
- After a decision is reached by the Provost, the Office of the Associate
Provost for Faculty Affairs will provide copies of the notification to the
Provost, Dean, Chair, faculty member and to the Office of Academic Personnel
and Budget, which will make the actual change of tenure review year in the
University's database systems.
For additional information, see the full policy, II-1.00(D)
University Of Maryland Policy On Extension Of Time For Tenure Review Due
To Personal And Professional Circumstances.
