GUIDELINES FOR SCHEDULING PERIODIC MULTI-YEAR REVIEW

In order to establish schedules for PMYRs (i.e., to determine in which year
each individual faculty member will have her or his first PMYR), the
administration and the union agreed to the following guidelines:

* A faculty member will normally have a PMYR in the academic year two years
preceding his or her next scheduled sabbatical.   A faculty member who takes
half-sabbaticals will normally have a PMYR in the academic year two years
preceding his or her second half-sabbatical in a seven year sabbatical
cycle.

* A faculty member will not normally have his or her PMYR within six years
of a successful promotion or tenure review.

* Departments normally should not have a clustering of PMYRs in any
individual year.

On the basis of these guidelines, each department chair or center head, in
consultation with the affected members of the department or center, will
develop a schedule for PMYR for all tenured members of the department or
center.  This schedule will be submitted to the dean for approval.

[After a faculty member has had her or his first PMYR, subsequent PMYR's for
that faculty member would take place every seven years -- unless she/he had
a successful promotion review, in which case a new PMYR schedule would be
established for the individual.]
