Area Review Committees

The Academic Staff Area Review Committees were established in 1978 to review indefinite appointment nomination proposals and make recommendations to the Deans.

The primary guidelines for recommending approval of an indefinite appointment will be that the candidate has demonstrated professional excellence in fulfilling employment responsibilities and that there is a clear expectation that the candidate will continue to be of significant value to his or her area of work and thereby to warrant a long-term commitment by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Indefinite appointments are intended for academic staff members who have shown evidence of consistent excellence in performance and professional growth, who are of significant current and continuing value to the mission of their department or program, and for whom fiscal resources are available to make the commitment.
