审查委员会
The purpose of a College level of review for promotion and/or tenure is to apply criteria related to the College mission and standards and to ensure that criteria are applied evenly across Divisions. 因此, the College review will bring broad faculty and administrative judgment to bear and will also monitor general standards of quality and equity of academic unit policies and procedures. It is at the academic unit level that specific expectations and standards are given and evaluated.
