What is Review, Promotion, and Tenure?
Over time, the decisions to reappoint, promote, and confer tenure to faculty have a profound influence on the character and quality of Rice University and an important impact on the individual. For these reasons, the processes leading up to these decisions require great care and attention. While keeping the goals and quality standards of the university in mind, those involved in the process must be scrupulously attentive to the process to ensure that all candidates receive a fair and thorough review.
Review, Promotion, and Tenure (RPT) is an Interfolio module that is used to facilitate the review process any time a candidate submits materials that one or a series of committees need to review or approve.
User Roles
A user’s role determines their capabilities in Interfolio RPT:
- Candidates undergoing a review, along with anyone else added to Interfolio RPT, are considered users.
- Review Committees are comprised of users who have been added to a committee, such as committee members, and users who not only serve on a committee but also oversee it and its case review, such as committee managers.
- Administrators are users with the authority to oversee a specific unit, such as a department, school, center, or other academic unit.
