What is the evaluation procedure?
After the college-level process is completed and the materials are forwarded to the Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost’s office, the Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost may request additional supporting materials if the external evaluations seem insufficient. If the Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost finds the nomination meritorious, it will be sent to a Distinguished Professor Selection Committee. The Selection Committee will then meet and evaluate the candidate’s portfolio and make a recommendation to the Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost. The Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost will send the final recommendations to the Chancellor for his review and submission to the Board Committee on Faculty, Staff and Administration. Final approval is required by the University Board of Trustees.
