2025-2026 Faculty Dismissal Hearing Committee

To maintain continuity in Auburn’s academic work, certain existing academic committees will continue their responsibilities for the time being. Relevant committee chairs have been informed and asked to notify members accordingly. As the transition proceeds, the name, composition, structure, scope, function, and other aspects of these particular committees will be reviewed and revised as needed to align with Board policy and the University’s new academic advisory framework.

Faculty Dismissal Hearing Committee

The committee shall hear requests to dismiss tenured faculty members and make recommendations to the President following the procedure outlined in Chapter 3 of the Faculty Handbook.

Election process: The tenured and tenure-track faculty of each academic college and the Libraries will elect one faculty member to serve on the Faculty Dismissal Hearing Committee. The Dismissal Hearing Committee shall not have more than one member representing the same college or the Libraries.
