UT Austin College of Engineering -- Policies and Procedures -- Post Tenure

Post Tenure Review

The purpose of the sixth-year period performance evaluation is to assess whether the tenured faculty member is making a contribution consistent with that expected of a tenured faculty member. These contributions can vary widely in terms of individual professional responsibilities. They can be 100% administrative. They can include teaching in more than one program, and they can include substantial duties in advising students. In each and every case, the focus of the review needs to be commensurate with the specific professional responsibilities the faculty member has been assigned. For faculty members performing substantial duties outside their department, the evaluation committee shall consider information from University personnel who are familiar with the faculty member's performance outside the department.

The Cockrell School of Engineering follows the procedures and timeline as issued by the Provost's Office.
