Article 9 and Exhibit G of the District/AFT 2121 Collective Bargaining Agreement details requirements and regulations regarding tenure review. This page is designed to give basic guidance regarding tenure review. If differences exist between the information contained in this page and the collective bargaining agreement, the collective bargaining agreement will govern.

The Guide to Faculty Evaluation and Tenure Review has additional guidance for Tenure Review Committee Members, Mentors, and Faculty under Tenure Review.

Consideration for early tenure is a multi-step process with many forms. Exhibit K of the Collective Bargaining agreement is the source of the various forms, and should be reviewed by persons under tenure review and tenure review committees when early tenure is to be considered.

1. Faculty who wish to be considered for early tenure start by informing their Tenure Review Committees using Form 1. This should be submitted by the end of the sixth week of instruction, September 21, 2012.
2. Tenure Review Committees then make a recommendation on consideration for early tenure to the Chancellor using Form 2 and Form 3. These should be submitted by the end of the sixteenth week of the semester, December 7, 2012.
3. If the Chancellor deems that consideration for early tenure is warranted, he indicates his approval using Form 4. This approval is given by the end of the first week of the following spring semester.
4. Tenure Review Committees then use Form 5, a different evaluation form, for subsequent evaluations.
