Appeals are possible at every level, but must be made to the committee or administrator whose decision is being appealed. An intention to appeal must
be given to the appropriate body within five working days of notification
of the decision. An appeal includes: (1) a letter documenting the basis of the appeal, usually written by the candidate; and (2) a scheduled meeting with the appropriate person or committee. It is strongly recommended that the candidate attend the appeal meeting. Representatives of the candidate can also attend and participate in the appeal meeting. Appeals must be handled within two weeks, except under
extenuating circumstances. The University Faculty Senate Committee
on Promotions and Tenure will hear no appeals beyond March 1, and the
Provost's Office will hear no appeals beyond March 15. Any appeals
not heard by these dates must be carried over to the following academic
year. (Rev. Fac. Sen 2/98)
