X.B   Appointments: The Governing Board

All teaching appointments to the Law School are reviewed by the Governing Board (Board of Permanent Officers), which consists of persons holding the rank of professor. Associate professors on term, associate clinical professors, clinical professors, professorial lecturers, and associate deans may participate in meetings of the Expanded Governing Board and may discuss new appointments but they do not vote, and they may not participate in discussion of the status of existing non-tenured faculty. An appointment approved by the Governing Board is forwarded to the Provost, who reviews it; if approved, the recommendation is forwarded to the Corporation. In general, appointment procedures conform to those set forth in Section III , with some variations, mainly resulting from the nature of the appointments process at the Law School. For more information on appointments, consult the Dean of the Law School. For information concerning terminations, see Section III.G .
