The remedial action which the Promotion Appeals Committee may take is to recommend to the University Promotions Committee that it reconsider an appellant's case for promotion.

The Promotion Appeals Committee does not act as a fresh hearing of the full merits of the appellant's case. It will recommend reconsideration if it is persuaded that the University Promotions Committee has been:

1)     misinformed on some material point of fact bearing upon the appellant's case;
2)     inadequately informed or uninformed of some such material point;
3)     at fault through not carrying out required procedures;
4)     biased in its assessment of the appellant's case;
5)     cursory, contradictory or inconsistent in its explanation of the reasons for rejecting an appellant's case for promotion.
