In making this recommendation, I have reviewed the promotion application, the supplemental reviews and evaluations as specified in the Checklist for Promotion, and the criteria for promotion as stated in Section 2.6.2.1 of the Faculty Handbook. I have taken into consideration the recommendations of the Unit Committee, Chair, Dean, and University Committee. Although there was a split vote (5-2 in favor of promotion) from the University Committee, no rationale was given for such a vote. In fact, the committee declares, “The deliberations of the committee are confidential.” Therefore, this Office, after careful consideration of all input (Unit Committee, Chair, Dean. University Committee, and the presented dossier), recommends promotion to professor for Ms. Sharon McGee.
If I can be of further assistance in the evaluation of this recommendation, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
