The committee must provide annual written reports to the faculty member, the department Chair and (where appropriate) the Program Coordinator/Division Director.

13. LCME Self-Study Regarding Feedback A survey was sent to all junior faculty in April 2006. The response rate was 52%. *Believes that mentoring committees should be a requirement.

14. Third- and Sixth-Year Reviews Reviews are conducted for all full-time faculty The Dean’s office notifies the Chair when a review is due The review is conducted by the Chair and the Departmental Appointments and Promotions Committee If tenure is considered unlikely, the Chair meets with the faculty member to discuss his/her options The Chair notifies the Dean and faculty member of the outcome of the meeting in writing
