Department Committee Clause Samples

The Department Committee clause establishes a designated group within a department responsible for overseeing specific functions or making decisions related to departmental matters. Typically, this clause outlines the committee's composition, the process for appointing members, and the scope of its authority, such as reviewing proposals, managing budgets, or setting departmental policies. By clearly defining the committee's structure and responsibilities, the clause ensures organized governance and facilitates efficient decision-making within the department.
Department Committee. 1. The Vice ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of Academic Affairs (or designee), Department Chair (or if Division/Department Director is present, Division director, or designee) of each respective department, and two (2) faculty members from the department (at least one holding the most senior rank in the department, subject to the limitation below) shall form the “Committee.” Department faculty shall select their representative faculty members on an annual basis during the first week of the fall semester (except for Spring 2019, when the Committee shall be formed as early as possible in the semester). Faculty members that received a notice of non-reappointment or notice of layoff, instructors, and visiting faculty are not eligible to serve on the Committee or participate in the Committee selection process (this includes individuals that contest their non- renewal status). 2. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide a framework and formally charge said Committee to develop and maintain written clarifications of the University’s reappointment and promotion criteria in terms tailored to the department’s discipline(s) and assigned duties, and consistent with University standards as established in the 2018-2019 Faculty Handbook.

Department Committee. There shall be a tenure committee in each department in the Schools/Colleges of Business Administration; Engineering; Fine, Performing, and Communication Arts; Liberal Arts and Sciences; Medicine; Pharmacy and Health Sciences that shall be responsible for evaluating candidates and for making tenure recommendations. As the department tenure committee is also the promotion committee, non-tenure track faculty will be part of the tenure committee as outlined in the promotion article (Article XXIII. A.3.B). However, as articulated in Article XXIII.A.3.B, non-tenure track faculty will not vote on tenure decisions. The committee membership shall consist of tenured faculty members elected by the faculty of the department. Faculty holding administrative positions in offices above the unit and in the reporting line shall not be eligible for election. For faculty with a joint appointment, the composition of the tenure committee will reflect the proportionality of that appointment, with the stipulation that the tenure home unit will never receive less than fifty percent (50%) representation on these committees. A two-thirds (2/3) affirmative vote of the membership of the committee shall be required for a recommendation for the granting of tenure. The department chair (or unit head) shall chair the committee without vote. A committee representative shall be elected from among the bargaining-unit members of the committee who shall serve as spokesperson for the committee. When the elected spokesperson does not agree with the recommendation of the department committee with respect to a specific candidate, the voting members of the committee may elect an alternative representative to serve as spokesperson for the committee with respect to that candidate. The recommendation of the committee for the granting of tenure, together with a written assessment and supporting documents, shall be forwarded to the department chair or administrator of equal function. The elected spokesperson shall sign the written assessment for all committee members and the committee vote shall not be included in any communications.
