7 Faculty Members Elected to the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Promotion and Tenure

Seven faculty members from across campus have been elected to serve on the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Promotion and Tenure.

Committee members, who serve two-year, staggered terms, work in an advisory capacity to ensure consistency across the promotion and tenure processes and promote high academic standards. They advise Vice Chancellor, Provost and Chief Academic Officer Gretchen Ritter, providing a wide range of perspectives and serving as Universitywide faculty representatives. Members must be tenured full professors and are not eligible to serve consecutive terms.

Newly elected committee members, whose terms span the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years (except where noted), include:

  • Todd Berger, professor, College of Law
  • Lori Brown, Distinguished Professor, School of Architecture
  • Gail Bulman, professor of Spanish and chair of languages, literatures and linguistics, College of Arts and Sciences (completing the two-year term of Amanda Eubanks-Winkler following her departure from the University)
  • Kevin Crowston, Distinguished Professor of Information Science, School of Information Studies
  • Beth Ferri, associate dean for research and professor of inclusive education and disability studies, School of Education
  • Zunli Lu, Thonis Family Professor of earth and environmental sciences, College of Arts and Sciences
  • Brian Taylor, professor of political science, Maxwell School

They join the following committee members, who are completing their terms this academic year:

  • Amber Anand, Edward Pettinella Professor of Finance, Whitman School
  • Katherine McDonald, associate dean for research and professor of public health, Falk College
  • Chilukuri Mohan, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, College of Engineering and Computer Science
  • Anne Osborne, professor of communications and director of mass communications and media studies, Newhouse School
  • Kendall Phillips, professor of communication and rhetorical studies, College of Visual and Performing Arts

Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs Jamie Winders convenes the committee. Winders assigns a subset of seven members to assess cases that meet the criteria for review, including those that have substantial disagreement between layers of recommendation or a strong probability of a negative determination. Members engage in timely consultation with the provost and offer an advisory vote but do not issue a formal report or consider appeals.

Provost Ritter is chair of the committee. Vice President for Research Duncan Brown serves in an ex-officio capacity.
