Committee Bylaws

This committee is concerned with the tenure rights of faculty. It functions according to the principles stated in the Academic Tenure Regulations in the Collected Rules and Regulations and serves as the Missouri S&T Campus Faculty Committee on Tenure specified in Section 310.050.B of the Collected Rules and Regulations. It also makes recommendations to the Faculty Senate for campus policy changes regarding tenure and promotion processes. It also serves as the judicial hearing committee for cases of
dismissal for cause and makes recommendations of Dismissal for Cause (section 310.060 of The Collected Rules and Regulations). In cases of research misconduct, as defined in Section 420.010.A.3.a, the matter shall be governed by the policies and procedures for reviewing said cases under Section 420.010 and no proceedings by the TPC shall be taken unless the matter results in initiation of dismissal for cause proceedings.

This committee consists of one (1) faculty member from each academic department whose faculty is eligible for tenure. The faculty of each academic department shall, during the second semester of each academic year, elect one of its eligible faculty members to membership on the TPC to serve for the following academic year, and also elect an alternate faculty member who shall serve whenever the regular committee member is unable to serve. All members and alternates serve one-year terms.

Faculty members shall be elected from the eligible tenured Professors on continuous appointment. If there are no eligible Professors within a department, then faculty members shall be elected from the eligible tenured Associate Professors. Vice Provosts, department chairs, and other persons who devote 50% or more of their time to administrative duties shall not be eligible for membership on the TPC.
