The Executive Committee shall provide the appropriate notice for all tenure\/promotion decisions (see 5.171<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following deliberations on a tenure\/promotion case, the Executive Committee shall vote by written ballot. This ballot shall contain the motion before the committee, the date of the meeting, the individual\u2019s vote (yes, no, abstain), and the signature of the individual voting. These ballots will be collected by the Chair of the committee and retained in the confidential personnel files for the duration of the candidate\u2019s employment at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the Executive Committee must be present in order to vote. Proxy votes are not allowed. In extraordinary circumstances, and with the permission of the Executive Committee members, a member of the Executive Committee may participate in the meeting by video or audio teleconferencing assuming they have access to all materials placed before the committee by the candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vote on a decision of tenure\/promotion shall be recorded in the minutes of the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the event the Executive Committee requires a 2\/3 majority for passage of a motion recommending tenure and\/or promotion and the vote results in a majority vote that results in a fraction, that fraction will be rounded up to the next highest number.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
