Definition of a Tenure Review Committee:

A Tenure Review committee is composed of a core committee and an at-large committee member. The core committee is made up of the Division Dean, and two tenured faculty members from the division. One of the division members, whenever possible, should be from the department. The core committee stays on the committee during all three phases of the Candidate’s tenure review period. The at-large committee member stays on for Phase I and Phase II.
