The Campus APT Committee reviews every new appointment and promotion of faculty to the ranks of Professor and Associate Professor. The Provost appoints a committee of nine faculty members holding the rank of Professor, one from each of the eight large colleges (Agriculture and Natural Resources; Arts and Humanities; Behavioral and Social Sciences; Business; Computer, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences; Education; Engineering; Chemical and Life Sciences) and one from among the five small colleges (Architecture, Planning, and Preservation; Health and Human Performance; Information Studies; Journalism; Public Policy). Since this committee shall make its recommendations on the basis of whether or not the University’s high standards for tenure and/or promotion have been met, members of this committee shall have a track record of outstanding academic judgment along with sufficient intellectual breadth and depth to be capable of comparing and judging candidates from varied disciplinary, cross-disciplinary, and professional backgrounds. No small college shall be represented on the committee more frequently than once in every three terms. Candidates for the committee shall be solicited from the Deans of the Colleges and Schools, from the Senate Executive Committee, and from the faculty at large. No one serving in a full-time administrative position may serve as a voting member of the committee. The Provost shall be a non-voting ex-officio member. Appointments to the committee from the eight large colleges shall be for three years while the appointment from one of the five small colleges shall be for two years, with the terms staggered so that approximately one-third of the committee is replaced each year. No one may serve two consecutive terms.
