REGENTS’ POLICY MANUALSECTION 2—ACADEMICS2.3.4—POST-TENURE REVIEW – NORMAN CAMPUSPost-tenure review at the Norman Campus is a periodic peer-based evaluation of tenured faculty forthe purpose of guiding career development and, when judged necessary, improving faculty performance.The post-tenure review process is based on and extends the annual evaluation of faculty described in theNorman Campus Faculty Handbook through two processes: (1) a retrospective review of facultyperformance in teaching; research and creative/scholarly activity; and professional and University serviceand public outreach over the five years preceding the review, and (2) a formative evaluation for futureprofessional growth.For all faculty, post-tenure review provides a formal opportunity for self-assessment and discussionwith peers about professional development. For those faculty whose performance is judged to be belowexpectations, the evaluation leads to the formulation of a professional development plan, the purpose ofwhich is to assist the faculty member to raise his or her level of performance to meet or exceed theexpectations for tenured faculty.Post-tenure review is mandatory for all tenured faculty who are reviewed under the applicable sectionof the Norman Campus Faculty Handbook, unless they have signed an agreement to retire within the twoyears following the year of the scheduled review or have entered into a formal phased retirementagreement with the University.Bearing in mind the value and importance of academic freedom and procedural due process to thewell being and success of the academic community, the University acknowledges and supports inprinciple the policies and procedures set forth in the AAUP's Standards for Good Practice in Post-TenureReview. Post-tenure review is not a re-evaluation of a faculty member's tenure status, nor is it intended asmeans to effect programmatic change. The post-tenure review process will be carried out in a mannerthat is consistent with the University's policies on academic freedom and responsibility and on facultyevaluation (see the Norman Campus Faculty Handbook). Post-tenure review will be based on the criteriafor annual review established by the faculty of the unit and approved by the administration.Norman Campus Faculty Handbook includes policies on the post-tenure review.Post-tenure reviews shall be initiated immediately following the completion of the annual facultyevaluation process.Normal ReviewEach faculty member shall undergo post-tenure review in the fifth year after the year in which the facultymember is awarded tenure or promotion, whichever is later, and every fifth year thereafter. Annually, theOffice of the Senior Vice President and Provost will identify those faculty to undergo a normal posttenurereview, and establish and publish a time schedule for completing the required steps in the posttenurereview process.Early ReviewA post-tenure review shall be initiated earlier than the normal review cycle under the followingcircumstances:(a) If the composite or overall rating of a tenured faculty member's performance on the annual evaluationis below expectations (2.00 or less on a 0-5 scale) for two consecutive years, an early post-tenure reviewwill be initiated immediately as an extension of the annual evaluation. Candidates for early post-tenurereview will be identified by Committee A as part of the annual faculty evaluation process and reported tothe unit's budget dean. However, Committee A may request from the dean permission to postponeinitiation of an early review for one year if, in their opinion, the early review is not justified due toTHE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA 49
