According to UIS policy, each academic year the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs & Provost notifies the UIS community of the names of those among the faculty scheduled for tenure review and second- or fourth-year reappointment review. Listed below are the names of the faculty members scheduled for reviews this academic year. Faculty review decisions involve critical commitments for the university and important steps for each individual involved. We would like to make these decisions with the benefit of fair and accurate information.

Dear Colleagues and Students:

I am pleased to announce the following faculty members have been recommended for reappointment, in accordance with the Faculty Personnel Policy governing second and fourth year review of probationary faculty at UIS.

2nd Year Reappointment
