Faculty COUNCIL


Welcome to the University of Houston Faculty COUNCIL

Welcome to the pages of the UH Faculty Council website. Here, we hope you will find the informational resources you are looking for. Our goal when developing and managing this website is to bring under one umbrella a variety of links and resources that might impact the day-to-day work of a faculty member. Of course, we wish to also provide information on the workings of the faculty council itself and on all the proceedings and documents related to the council committees. In that sense, the council website is designed to be both “outward-looking,” that is, a resource for UH faculty and “inward-looking,” that is, a resource for faculty council members.

UH Together

Committees have been working on initiatives as shared in the January 21st meeting. We ask that you reach out to your Faculty Council representatives to learn more about the happenings at the monthly meetings. We are here to represent the faculty and welcome your feedback and input. 

We thank those who attended the virtual Future of Higher Education Talk Series with Justin Reich. A survey will be sent out this week to collect your feedback.

Each week, we shine a light on a key SAM or MAPP policy that directly affects faculty. This week’s focus: Promotion and Tenure Guidelines. 

Faculty are reminded to review the updated Promotion and Tenure guidelines under SAM 06.A.09, which govern appointment, reappointment, annual review, and promotion and tenure evaluation standards across the UH System.

Promotion and Tenure Seminars. The seminars will be held on the following Fridays from 10 –11 a.m. in the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Pavilion (second floor of UH’s MD Anderson Library):

  • January 23– Overview of Promotion and Tenure Guidelines
  • February 27– Developing a National and International Reputation
  • March 27– Documenting Excellence in Research, Teaching, and Service
  • April 10– Building a Strong Promotion and Tenure Portfolio
  • May 1– Understanding External Arm’s-Length Reviews
