Post-Tenure Review (PTR)
PTR is required of all tenured faculty every seven years to ensure continued professional development and to evaluate contributions to the university.
Review Process and Policies
Participation in the PTR process is mandatory. Reviews of tenured faculty members are on a scheduled basis. A scheduled review can also occur earlier than the scheduled date, and on an as needed basis, if requested by a department chair.
