Section III. INITIAL REQUIREMENTS A. Due Dates
1. Letters of nomination are due in the office of the Senate by December 1 or, if this date falls on a weekend, the first instructional day thereafter. All letters of nomination must be originals (fax and e- mail versions will not be considered). 2. All material supporting the nomination (i.e., nominees’ notebooks) must be received in the office of the Senate by February 1 or, if this date falls on a weekend, the first instructional day thereafter. B. Nominations and Supporting Materials 1. Nominations may be made by faculty, students, alumni or others in a position to evaluate the effectiveness achievements of a faculty member in any of the three tenure-track/tenured award categories (Teaching, Service, Research /Artistic Accomplishment) or the non-tenure track award (Teaching). Self-nominations will not be accepted. Nomination letters and supporting materials must be submitted to the Senate in accordance with Part A above. 2. Nominations are presented by a Nominator. The Nominator writes the letter of nomination, providing a full description of the nominee’s work that is deserving of the respective award; a short statement of nomination will not be sufficient. The Nominator shall also help the nominee to compile and order a notebook for the screening selection committee to substantiate the nomination, incorporating materials required and/or suggested in the accompanying criteria. No materials may be added to the notebook after the due date. 3. The screening selection committee is not an investigative body. Therefore, it is imperative that supportive material be complete, orderly and self-explanatory. 4. Nominators may not nominate more than one faculty to share the same award. 5. An individual may receive an award in more than one category, although not in the same year. An individual may not receive an individual award more than once. 6. A nominee may be renominated. 7. Material of award recipients shall be retained for three years in the office of the Senate. 8. Awards are announced by the provost President and approved by the BOT. Awards shall be officially presented at the Spring Honors Convocation. Neither nominees nor nominators should attempt to contact the committee, the Senate office, or the Provost’s President’s Office about the progress or outcome of the committee's deliberations. No information will be given out.
