Reserve CAP

Reserve Council on Academic Personnel

Charge: A Reserve Council on Academic Personnel (RCAP) will be established for each academic year. The RCAP will make decisions on CAP cases involving active CAP members, spouses, partners, and relatives of currently serving CAP members, the current Senate Chair and Chair Elect, and other faculty recommended by the CAP Chair due to special and unusual circumstances.

Appointment: The Committee on Committees will appoint the RCAP members from the schools, if possible, of the current CAP members and other faculty under review that year. The RCAP will be composed of a minimum of four members, depending on the total number of cases to be reviewed, with at least three serving on any given case. RCAP members must have served on CAP for a full year’s term, with exceptions for less service considered on a case-by-case basis.  Current CAP and CPT members are not eligible to serve on RCAP. RCAP members cannot be from the same department as the faculty up for review, unless they have recused themselves from departmental voting. RCAP service will be for one year (coinciding with the CAP annual membership cycle) with the possibility of re-appointment. Consistent with the procedures for other Senate committees, the list of RCAP members will be posted on the Senate webpages.

Procedures: The members of the RCAP will elect a Chair from within their ranks. At least three RCAP members, of which one is the Chair, will review any given case based on the expertise needed to judge specific cases, and all members are expected to review every file. The RCAP procedures are as similar as possible to those currently employed by CAP.
