Administrators with Rank and Tenure
Policy Statement
Rank
Marywood is willing to recognize or award rank to
administrators according to the policy outlined below. This may
include Executive and Administrative officers of the University,
Senior Administrators, or Senior Management in the Academic Affairs
area.
A. If a Marywood faculty member moves to an administrative position
as defined above, he/she will retain the academic rank attained at
Marywood.
B. If an administrator is appointed who is new to Marywood and
he/she has ever held rank in another college or university that is
regionally accredited, appropriate rank will be awarded at Marywood
provided the criteria for elevation to the rank at Marywood have been
met in a discipline associated with the profile of the
University.
C. If a newly appointed administrator has never held academic rank,
s/he may be appointed with the appropriate rank at Marywood. The
administrator must demonstrate qualifications comparable to those
held by faculty elevated to that rank at Marywood.
D. Application for advancement in rank is made through the
established University procedures.
E. A Marywood University administrator is credited for advancement
in rank with the time spent in administration.
Tenure
Marywood is willing to recognize or award tenure to
administrators according to the policy outlined below. This policy
is limited to the President of the University, the Vice President for
Academic Affairs, the Academic Deans of the Colleges, and the
Director of Library Services.
A. If a tenured Marywood faculty member moves to an administrative
position defined above, he/she will retain the tenure earned at
Marywood.
B. If an administrator is appointed to one of the positions defined
above on or after July 1, 2003, and s/he has earned tenure as a
faculty member and held tenure within five years in another college
or university that is regionally accredited, tenure may be awarded at
Marywood provided the criteria for tenure at Marywood have been met
in a discipline associated with the profile of the University.
An applicant must request consideration for tenure; it may not be
assumed. Tenure for incoming administrators as defined above will be
awarded in consultation with the tenured faculty and department head
of the appropriate department and with the Rank and Tenure Committee.
A candidate qualifies for tenure in terms of his or her ability to
meet the tenure requirements of Marywood University.
Tenure is granted by the President of the University.
C. If an administrator with tenure is discharged for cause, then
that administrator will lose the opportunity to become a member of
the faculty.
D. The movement of an administrator with tenure to the full-time
faculty must not affect negatively other tenured faculty or
non-tenured faculty who hold tenure track appointments. Thus, it may
be necessary for the University to create a new position or within
reason to retrain the administrator for another University
opening.
E. Upon entering the full-time faculty, all former administrators
are expected to meet the same standards and fulfill the same
responsibilities as any other tenured faculty member and are in all
respects to be treated as any other full-time tenured faculty
member.
