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. The University Committee has a split vote for tenure (five in favor, one opposed and one abstention) and in grades to promotion (four in favor and three opposed). No reasons for these votes were given, “The deliberations of the Committee are confidential.” Therefore, this Office has considered all input in the making the recommendation to recommend tenure and promotion to the rank of associate professor for Dr. Farida Olden.
