Committees

When a staff member applies for tenure, promotion, or for a change of their focus domain, this request is assessed by a committee. This committee interviews the staff member, reviews their documentation, and on the basis of this prepares an advice to the Faculty Board about the request of the staff member. Requests for promotion to the position of Associate Professor or promotion to the position of Full Professor are assessed by the permanent assessment committee 1 (or BC1) or the permanent assessment committee 2 (or BC2). These are permanent committees that are faculty-wide. Requests for tenure and promotion from Assistant Professor 2 to 1, promotion from Associate Professor 2 to 1, and a change of focus domain are assessed by an ad hoc assessment committee. The assessment committee is a smaller committee that is formed for the purpose of the assessment.
