Post Tenure Review Policy and Procedures As passed by the Faculty Senate November 10, 1997 And by the Faculty at Large February 26, 1998 Approved by the Board of Regents April 24, 1998 Effective Date: January 23, 2015 (Approved KSU Board of Regents)

The post tenure review is intended to maintain the standards of performance that faculty achieve when granted tenure. It promotes faculty development and achievement and identifies areas of performance that need improvement.

The post tenure review assesses the level of teaching effectiveness, scholarship/performance, and service of faculty. With the exception of those tenured administrators who serve as administrators for at least 75% of their role responsibilities, all tenured faculty will be reviewed. Each tenured faculty member must be reviewed every four years after attaining tenure status, except in years where the faculty is being considered for promotion and undergoing that evaluation process. The annual review will not be conducted in years when a post tenure review occurs.

Faculty members will be reviewed once every four years following the receipt of tenure. The post tenure review evaluation should be completed by the end of the academic term in which it is scheduled. The review is a cumulative summary of the performance reported in annual faculty reviews. As such, a narrative, current curriculum vitae and copies of the annual reviews for the past four years will constitute the faculty file for evaluation. An appendix of scholarly work may be included (i.e. recordings, programs, published work).

The Vice President for Academic Affairs will notify faculty members scheduled for post-tenure review no later than November 15 directly preceding the spring academic term of review (except in the initial year of application and implementation of this policy).
