First-term assistant professors are reviewed by the Appointments Committee with recommendations from appropriate search committees. Term appointments to second-term assistant professor and to the rank of associate professor are reviewed by ladder faculty of equivalent or higher rank. Recommendations for appointments to tenure positions are reviewed by the Board of Permanent Officers. If approved, they are sent to the Dean and thence to the Provost for review and recommendation to the Corporation. The Provost will ask the School's Standing Advisory and Appointments Committee to review and make a recommendation on tenure appointments or in other cases where it is deemed appropriate. When tenure appointments are made jointly between the School and a department of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, appointments are also sent to the appropriate divisional Tenure Appointments and Promotions Committee for review and concurrent approval. Tenure appointments proposed jointly with another school must follow that school's appointments procedure also. Appointments approved by the Provost are forwarded to the Corporation. For information concerning terminations, see Section III.G .
