A two-stage process, beginning at the college level and progressing to the Provost level, has been established for a faculty member who wishes to appeal his or her merit rating. The following procedures will be followed:
College-level appeal: If any faculty member wishes to appeal his or her merit rating, the appeal should be lodged in writing (a brief letter will do) in the Dean's Office by January 25, 2008.
Campus-level appeal: Faculty members who wish to appeal the Dean's decision may avail themselves of an appeals process at the Provost's level. To initiate a campus-level appeal, a faculty member simply needs to state briefly in a letter to Provost Subbaswamy that he or she wishes to lodge a campus-level appeal. The deadline for filing this appeal is May 12, 2008.
In summary, the deadlines for appeal of a merit rating are:
December, 2007
