written formal response. The untenured faculty member submits

the response to the Provost, and, at his/her discretion, may also

provide a copy to the observer, the Department Head, and the

conference committee conducting his/her pre- and post- midterm

conferences. If the untenured faculty member has released the

response to the observer, the Department Head, and the

conference committee, the Provost will include the response as

part of the materials for the Departmental Review Committee at

the time of the midterm and tenure reviews. If the untenured

faculty member has not released the response to the observer,
