(1) The review committee shall be required to conduct an evaluation of each full-time probationary faculty appointee assigned to the committee by the president and render the following reports to the president, the probationary faculty appointee and through the president to the appointing authority at the following times during the regular college year:

(a) A written evaluation of each full-time probationary faculty appointee's performance and the subsequent submission of such written evaluation of the performance directed to the said probationer and the president on December 20th and March 15th of each regular college year that said probationer is not a tenured faculty appointee. The review committee shall obtain such appointee's written acknowledgment of receipt of the written performance evaluation each time such evaluation is rendered.

(b) A written recommendation concerning the employment or nonemployment of each full-time probationary faculty appointee for the ensuing regular college year directed to the appointing authority through the president prior to February 15th of each regular college year.

(c) A written recommendation directed through the president to the appointing authority recommending the appointing authority award or not award tenure, such written recommendations to be submitted at times deemed appropriate by the review committee: Provided, That during such full-time probationary faculty appointee's third regular college year of appointment, the review committee shall prior to March 15th of such regular college year make such a recommendation as to the award or nonaward of tenure. If the review committee does not make the written recommendation as to the award or nonaward of tenure by March 15th of the regular college year for each full-time probationary faculty appointee who is then serving his third consecutive year of full-time appointment it shall be deemed a recommendation that tenure not be awarded to such appointee.

(2) The appointing authority shall only be required to give reasonable consideration to an award of tenure recommendation of the review committee but shall not be bound by such recommendation if the appointing authority has given reasonable consideration to such recommendation. The appointing authority shall not be required to give any consideration to the review committee recommendation required by paragraph (1)(b) of this rule.
