Page "government" Paragraph 834

At some colleges and universities, a faculty committee reviews and reports to the administration on the qualifications of candidates.

Some faculty members and many administrators oppose faculty review groups because they either repeat department's actions or act pro forma.

They can be effective, however, if their members set high standards for candidates and devote substantial time to the work.

At one university, the president cites the faculty review committee as `` a valued partner of the administration in guarding and promoting the quality of the faculty ''.
