Rules for the Election

    • Faculty members must be tenured to serve
    • Each department can have at most one representative on the Evaluation Policy and Training Committee.
    • Membership on the committee is restricted to the following structure: 2 faculty representatives from the College of Arts and Sciences, 1 faculty representative from each of the Schools of Health Sciences, Education, Music, and Business and Public Affairs, and 1 faculty representative from the non-classroom faculty. Of the two representatives from CAS, one must be from the Arts or Humanities and the other from the Natural or Social Sciences. Non-classroom faculty are those faculty in Educational Services, the Library, and Counseling.
    • The election is decided by majority of those casting votes unless such results violate the previous rules or the number of candidates does not exceed the number of positions to fill. In the later case, each candidate will be voted on by an approve/disapprove ballot. If an insufficient number of candidates receive a majority, a run-off election will be held between the top two eligible candidates. If there is only one eligible candidate for such a run-off, an approve/disapprove ballot will be used.
    • Vacant seats will be filled one at a time with the current vacant seat filled by the candidate with the highest vote count. As each seat is filled, the candidate filling that seat and any other candidates from the same department as the candidate filling that seat will be disqualified. Votes cast for disqualified candidates, as just defined, will not be considered in filling remaining vacant seats.
    • Each candidate selected counts as a cast vote.

Lisa Millhous


Department: Communication Studies

Since I began at WCU in 1999 I have been working on the New Faculty Orientation Committee to assist new probationary faculty with understanding and meeting WCU tenure and promotion expectations. In 2001 I organized additional meetings between TEP representatives and probationary faculty to assist them and I have been working since then to assist probationary faculty in the tenure/promotion process. I was tenured in 2004 and promoted in 2005 so I am still close to the event to understand it. I am sincerely invested in educating and supporting faculty through the evaluation process, as well as monitoring that process to better understand how it is affecting the institution.

I think that it is important for faculty to take an active role in preparing each other for the tenure and promotion process. I am interested in serving on this committee so that I can play a role in shaping how the tenure and promotion processes work.
