2.15 Program Directors
Administratively, directors of programs which are not internal to a
single local academic unit are regarded as the equivalent of department
chairs. They have the same duties and responsibilities as department
chairs except that, since faculty members are not appointed to primary
affiliation in a program faculty, they do not make primary evaluations
of faculty for purposes of reappointment, promotion, and tenure, and
they do not make primary annual reviews for the purpose of recommending
salary increases.
Policies on appointment and renewal are the same as those described for
department chairs in 2.13.2. Procedures for
appointment and renewal are the same as those described in 2.13.3, but they may be simplified as
appropriate
to the size and complexity of the program to be directed. Program
directors are subject to removal by the President and recall by the
faculty in accordance with the provisions set out for department chairs
in 2.13.4 and 2.13.5.
