- Send to sector criterion:
- A folder will be sent to the sectors for additional reviews if it receives no more than one score of 2 or lower.
- Under-represented groups will be sent to the sector for additional reviews if it receives two scores of 2 or higher. If a woman or URM gets a 3+ as their first review, they will immediately be sent for faculty review.
- A tiebreaker application will only be sent to the 2nd round with a 3 or better as the tie review
- Reject criterion:
- GAC will usually not ask sector for review if it receives 2 or more scores of 2 or lower.
- "0 & 1 policing" will be done by GAC Chair to facilitate efficient review of applications. Chair Note: via Action pulldown, unassign GAC Reader via "Remove assignment". Beth officially marks later as "Probable Reject" via "Add tag"
