Information on the Promotion, Tenure, Retention Appeal Committee (PTRAC)
The Promotion, Tenure, Retention Appeal Committee (PTRAC) was created by
an Oregon Administrative Rule in 1988-89. The purpose of this committee
is to hear appeals on decisions to deny promotion and/or tenure or the
failure to renew an appointment. It is a three member faculty committee
with an alternate. 1 Member from CAS, 1 member from professional schools
and colleges, 1 at large member and 1 alternate.
ELIGIBILITY: Members of this committee must be tenured
Officers of Instruction and must have served on the Faculty Personnel Committee
(FPC). Individuals who were involved in a review of a case while a member
of the FPC are not eligible to serve on PTRAC if it is reviewing that case
on appeal. No person may serve successive three year terms. Prior members
of the FPC are not eligible to serve while they are deans or department
heads. No two persons from the same department may serve on PTRAC at the
same time. Term of office is three years, June 16, 2004 - June 15, 2007.
The Committee on Committees and secretary, with help from the senate,
