Message to USC Faculty
From: Charles F. Zukoski, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
I write to thank the members of the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 University Committee on Appointments, Promotions, and Tenure (UCAPT) panels. This distinguished group of faculty has provided recommendations to me that are crucial to our university’s commitment to building and sustaining academic excellence.
UCAPT is comprised of eight discipline-based panels, each of which includes interdisciplinary members. This group of your colleagues has devoted a great deal of time to reviewing the approximately 175 dossiers that were considered over the past two years. We rely on their expert analysis and advice to make tenure and promotion decisions that bring honor to the university.
I am very grateful to this group, named individually below, for their dedication and service to USC:
