  2. Call Changes • Concerning files that have been given extension on their due dates for legitimate reasons: The CALL: (pg 6) The deans, the Committee on Academic Personnel and the Vice Provost for Academic Personnel feel no obligation to consider cases in which a faculty member does not supply documents and information by the deadlines that chairs may set. Files received after the extension deadline may be returned for re-submission during the next academic year.

  3. Call Changes • Career Reviews are being received with a wide range of time since last promotion. To allow for a more meaningful review, the materials allowed to be included, other than publications, will depend on the time since last promotion. The CALL (pg 16): If the time period since last promotion is less than or equal to 5 years, a Career Review file will include materials since the previous promotion or appointment, whichever occurred first.

  4. Call Changes • The procedural safeguard exists to protect the candidate and assure that he/she is afforded all the rights available within the academic personnel process. Files received without a signed procedural safeguard form will not be accepted for review starting at the department level. The only exception to this would be for mandatory reviews. The CALL (pg 33) Every personnel review file submitted is required to have a Procedural Safeguards Statement signed by the candidate. If the candidate should refuse to sign, the file will not be accepted for review
