B/5.5 University Promotion Committee |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Related Documents University Promotion Committee is a Vice-Chancellor's committee established in accordance with Council Procedure No 1 - Committees . University Promotion Committee is accountable to the Vice-Chancellor for fulfilling the following terms of reference. Terms of reference University Promotion Committee considers applications for promotion to Levels D and E (see B/5.3) and recommends to the Vice-Chancellor for approval. Membership
On the request of any applicant or committee member, the Human Resources Director and the Equity Coordinator, or their nominees, may attend any meeting of the University Promotion Committee to receive and review all relevant documentation, to observe the process and advise the Chair on University promotion procedures. Any such attendance is recorded in the committee’s record of proceedings. The composition of the University Promotion Committee should ensure a balance of expertise across the core areas of teaching and research. Where an application is received from an Indigenous staff member, prior to the consideration of any applications the University Promotion Committee will be reconstituted to include an appropriately qualified Indigenous staff member/Indigenous person external to the University. This will be an additional committee position. In this circumstance the Secretary to the Promotion Committee will request that the Vice-Chancellor nominate the Indigenous person to become a Committee member. A nominee of the Registrar is secretary, usually the Human Resources Director or nominee. Any person who is an applicant shall not be a member of the committee or act as a referee for any applicant to that committee. As University policy requires care in constituting committees to ensure gender balance, those memberships of the University Promotion Committee to be filled by appointment or nomination without election are to be finalised only after the outcomes of elections are known in relation to positions which are required to be filled by election. The two positions required from Levels D and E staff will be filled by election with the aim of achieving representation from different faculties. However where, after nominations have been called, no more than two nominations are received for these positions and one is at Level D and one is at Level E, the nominees are declared elected irrespective of faculty. Tenure and frequency of meetings Terms of office are as detailed in section 3 of Council Procedure No 1 - Committees except that, to ensure some overlap of expertise, half the elected and nominated positions will be reconstituted in each year of a two year period. University Promotion Committee meets as required.
