A probationary assistant or associate professor should be notified twelve months prior to the effective date of the termination. A report of a decision not to promote, with supporting reasons, should be forwarded through the same administrative channels for review of the recommendation for an initial appointment. Tenure Regulations state:
A decision not to reappoint upon expiration of a probationary term at the rank of instructor, assistant professor or associate professor may be made in the first instance by the chairman of the department after consultation with the assembled full professors of the department; or it may be made, following a recommendation to reappoint by the department chairman, by any other officer of administration charged with reviewing such a recommendation. By whatever officer of administration made, a decision not to reappoint is final except as it may subsequently be reviewed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 8. ["Officer of administration," as used herein, includes department chairmen.] Permissible and impermissible grounds for making a decision not to reappoint are as provided in Section 4.a. hereof. Each decision not to reappoint shall be communicated for information through the administrative channels prescribed for review of a recommendation to reappoint; and notice thereof shall be communicated in writing to the faculty member by the department chairman within the times prescribed by Sections (2.b.2), (3), and (4) hereof.
