5.05.06 - Specific Procedures for Specific Types of Continuing Candidates

Extension Specialists

The Head/Director/CED of the administrative unit appoints the administrative P&CA committee and has responsibility for the process. When specialists are located at an agricultural center, the center's director will provide comment on candidate readiness in a separate letter of evaluation. The administrative unit Head/Director will also write a separate letter of evaluation (paying particular attention to the relationship of the specialist to agents). If the specialist is appointed in two administrative units, each administrative unit will review the candidate, but the lead administrative unit will be the one with greatest budgeted appointment.

Extension Agents

The Associate Director appoints the program P&CA committee consisting of agents. The CED will provide comment on candidate's readiness as well as contribute a separate letter of evaluation for the P&CA dossier.

Area Agents

Area agents are involved in more than one county and, accordingly, have more administrators involved in their evaluation. However, to maintain administrative efficiency, area agents will be evaluated as Extension Agents, except the CED of major budget assignment will become the lead person for the CED role. Other CED's involved with the Area Agent will consult with the lead CED and provide input for letters to be written.
 

Research Scientists

The discipline administrative unit Head/Director appoints the P&CA committee and has responsibility for process. Where there is a joint appointment as extension specialist, the CED will be consulted, and if the candidate is located at an agricultural center, the agricultural center's director will be consulted.

All P&CA materials will be sent to the Office of the Dean by November 1. That office will then review the contents for completeness and return any dossiers that are incomplete or improperly compiled. The Dean's office will coordinate the reviews with the College P&CA committee, and provide for Executive Council review, final review by the Dean, and finally transmit reviews to the Provost. At the time of transmittal to the Provost, the Dean will notify the responsible administrative unit Head/Director/CED of decisions to recommend or deny P&CA. Two copies of the draft dossier should be submitted at least 30 days early for format checking and recommended changes by the Dean's office.
