• For the specific purposes of this document and its associated procedures, except as otherwise noted, “divisional dean” also refers to the John A. Paulson Dean of SEAS, and “department chairs” to SEAS area chairs. Although SEAS faculty members follow the same policies, some procedures may vary. Therefore, members of SEAS should also consult SEAS-specific documents.
• All procedural questions regarding faculty hiring, reviews, promotions, and leaves should be directed to the appropriate divisional/SEAS associate dean for faculty affairs. The associate dean should receive a copy of all documentation regarding these procedures.
• The Office for Academic Affairs reserves the right to request additional information or recommend changes to the dossier at any time during the search or review process.
