Review and Evaluation of Existing Departments
The performance of all Departments and Department Heads shall be periodically reviewed. In the case of clinical departments, the review shall conform with the procedures developed and approved by the COM Council but in all cases, the review shall occur no later than the penultimate year of an incumbents term, and shall include appropriate participation by faculty in the Department. These reviews will focus on the quality of academic programs within the Department or College and will also address the effectiveness of the Head's leadership. In the case of basic science departments, the review of Department Heads shall conform with the collective bargaining agreement. XI. Elections and Voting When a vote of the clinical faculty, the faculty in the MUP Bargaining Unit, or the full College of Medicine faculty is conducted, it shall be conducted with no fewer than ten (10) calendar days' notice, which notice must include the details of balloting procedures. The full text of the matter before the voting body shall be distributed with the notice of the ballot. Balloting shall be by secret, electronic vote. Balloting shall be held open for a period of not less than seven (7) calendar days and not more than 14 calendar days. The results of any ballot shall be released within 24 hours of the close of balloting. XII. Promulgation of these Bylaws The President of the COM Council shall distribute copies of these Bylaws to all Department Heads, Division Heads, and Program Directors and to all members of the faculty at the beginning of each academic year and make them available to other parties upon request.

Amendments Amendments to these Bylaws may be initiated by the College of Medicine Council or by a request in writing to the College of Medicine Council from the Faculty Forum or from 50 members of the faculty (as defined in Article 1). If the College of Medicine Council agrees with the suggested amendment and, after consultation with Faculty Forum, the Dean will submit the proposed amendment to the faculty for a vote by electronic ballot.
