Post-Tenure Review

Statement

After an initial review of all faculty members at Kentucky State University in 2023, the Post-Tenure Review process below will be followed where tenured faculty are reviewed once every three years following the receipt of tenure. Tenured faculty members share the responsibility to maintain an appropriate level of teaching, scholarly/creative activities, and service as a Annual Review of Tenured Faculty, all Schools will establish performance standards and procedures for the review of tenured faculty. The Post-Tenure Review policy is intended to be a final opportunity to improve deficient performance. The University may choose to use the Post-Tenure process in lieu of immediate dismissal for cause.

The Post-Tenure Review policy does not go into effect until at least one of the following conditions apply:

1. Refusal to participate in the annual review process
2. A “below standards” rating in teaching in the Year Three Review and in the review in the subsequent year as evaluated
3. A “below standards” and “insufficient progress” rating occurring in the same area of deficiency in two consecutive review cycles or
4. A recommendation from the Chair, the Dean, and the Provost to activate the process in lieu of immediate dismissal for cause.

Refusal of the faculty member to participate in any part of the post-tenure review process will result in sanctions as described in this policy. The post-tenure review process may be used no more than twice for the same faculty member.
