The committee welcomes letters from the college community with relevant information about the candidates. The committee will accept letters that are electronically submitted, but all letters must be signed to be considered. In other words, if you submit your recommendation via email, the letter should come as a pdf attachment with a visible, handwritten signature. The committee, however, will maintain confidentiality to the maximum degree legally possible. For the purposes of the Faculty Senate Rank and Tenure Committee’s deliberations (as well as for appeals before the Faculty Senate’s Rank and Tenure Appeals Committee), all names will be removed from letters before discussion. If you are sending a hard copy, please place the candidate’s name on the outside of the envelope and address all correspondence to Jennifer Lucas, Chair of the Rank and Tenure Committee, Politics  Department, Box #1802. Electronic submissions should be sent to [email protected] with the candidate’s name in the subject line. All correspondence must be received no later than Tuesday, March 5, 2024.
