Faculty Handbook – August 2022 15 If approved, the president will determine the membership consistent with the ratio and constituency heretofore established for the institutional promotion and tenure committee. Tenured faculty members will be elected to college or school, department or other appropriate administrative unit promotion and tenure committees using the same procedures used to elect tenured faculty members to the institutional promotion and tenure committee. Faculty members within the appropriate unit will participate in the election procedures. • The promotion and tenure committees shall make their recommendations to the administrator of the applicable department or appropriate unit. Administrators shall consider the recommendations of their departmental or unit promotion and tenure committee in formulating their recommendations to the next level of the process. At Northern State University, the President has determined the following composition of eight individuals for the Promotion and Tenure Committee: • Five faculty members, one each from the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Fine Arts, School of Business, and Millicent Atkins School of Education, and one at-large member elected by the faculty. • Five administrators including the four Deans and the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Faculty members are elected by their faculty peers within the colleges/schools. Each college/school also elects a faculty alternate. An administrator alternate is chosen by the Provost and Deans. The Committee elects its Chair from among the faculty members. Faculty-Led Study Abroad Committee The Faculty-Led Study Abroad Committee promotes faculty-led study abroad, serves as a resource to faculty in developing study abroad courses, provides feedback on faculty proposals, and approves faculty-led study abroad proposals. The committee is comprised of three faculty members and the Director of International Programs (ex officio, non-voting member). Faculty members are appointed by the Provost in consultation with the Director of International Programs for three-year, renewable terms. The Chair of the committee is selected by the committee at its first meeting of the academic year. For details on Faculty-Led Study Abroad, see Faculty Travel, below. The FacultyLed Study Abroad Handbook is available at the Academic Policies and Guidelines section of the MyNSU portal.

See Student Academic Grievance Procedure, below. The Academic Grievance Committee shall consist of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, one faculty member and an alternate from each undergraduate division chosen by each division faculty, and three students and three alternates chosen by the student government in existence at that time. The Vice President for Academic Affairs serves as chairperson of the committee.
