Student Advisory Committee

The SAC provides a structured mechanism for thoughtful student input regarding instructional competencies of faculty being reviewed for Retention/Promotion/Tenure (R/P/T).

The following is a description of SAC activities adopted by the Department:

"The Student Advisory Committee will function as an independent group. As such, the SAC will have access to and will review all department course evaluations gathered over the period of appointment of the professor(s) being reviewed for Retention/Promotion/Tenure. The SAC may conduct additional reviews as deemed necessary, given a written rationale and purpose for such reviews. However, all data collected and reviewed on instructional capabilities of the professor(s) undergoing review will be carefully analyzed and reported. The Department Chairperson will be the liaison person with the SAC for advisory purposes.

The Department Chairperson will meet with the elected committee at least four (4) weeks prior to the time SAC recommendations are to be made on Retention/Promotion/Tenure. This meeting will be for the purpose of reviewing the overall departmental procedures for review and to specifically outline the SAC purposes and goals in relation to Retention/Promotion/Tenure."
