2.11.2 Due Process<\/h3>\n

Tenured faculty cannot be dismissed or demoted without cause and without due process as described in section 2.14.3.3 of this Manual<\/em>. Tenured faculty, however, are subject to the same regular review processes described in Sections 2.9 and 2.10 of this Manual<\/em>. These post\u2013tenure reviews carry the same weight as the pre\u2013tenure reviews with regard to such decisions as merit and job performance.<\/p>\n

2.11.3 Board\u2013Mandated Remediation<\/h3>\n

Effective January 10, 2003, the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System issued a Policy and Procedures Memorandum (PPM) that \u201cis intended to serve as an umbrella policy for campuses in developing more specific procedures for the faculty review process\u201d The entire PPM can be found on the University of Louisiana System website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The PPM requires that there be mandatory remediation of tenured faculty once there have been multiple unsatisfactory reviews.<\/p>\n

Definitions of an \u201coverall unsatisfactory rating\u201c shall also be included in all departmental promotion and tenure documents (Section 2.10.2) and shall in each case reflect the mission of the university, the college, and the department as well as any individual criteria (Section 2.10.2a) that may apply. At this university, tenured faculty shall be subject to Board\u2013mandated remediation after there have been two (2) consecutive overall unsatisfactory ratings or after there have been three (3) overall unsatisfactory ratings in a five (5) year period. The following procedures shall apply for all cases of Board\u2013mandated remediation of tenured faculty:<\/p>\n
