University RTP Appeals Board Committee
The responsibility of the University Retention, Tenure, and Promotion Appeals Board is to review appeals of faculty members who have received negative recommendations concerning their applications for retention, tenure, or promotion. A principal responsibility of Austin Peay State University is to recruit and retain highly qualified faculty within its means, and to that end, the institution shall discharge these responsibilities by adhering to the highest standards of fairness and due diligence. The Appeals Board is also charged with upholding the policies of Austin Peay State University while simultaneously protecting academic freedom and safeguarding individual faculty members from arbitrary decisions. Appeals should be resolved in the most expeditious manner as possible and be consistent with the RTP Appeals Board objectives listed in the RTP P&G document.
Please see the APSU Retention, Tenure, and Promotion Procedures and Guidelines for detailed information regarding the University RTP Appeals Board.
