Probationary Deadlines
(Joint Senate/Provost Committee)
USC Academic Senate
The Committee on Probationary Deadlines
shall review proposed categories of special faculty from all units of the
University, consider the appropriateness of fixed-term renewable contracts for
individual faculty members in doubtful or disputed cases, and hear all requests
involving modification of the normal probationary period for faculty members.
The determinations of the committee are conveyed to the President of the
University for action. The President's decision shall be made as promptly as
possible. If he intends not to follow the recommendations of the
Committee, he shall consult with the Committee stating his reasons and
shall provide an opportunity for response by the Committee to him,
before taking action. If the President finally decides not to accept the
recommendations of the Committee, he shall state in writing to the
Committee his reasons for rendering a different decision. The committee
consists of a chairman and six additional members named by the Faculty Senate,
plus two members named by the Council of Deans.
