Nominatized

Nominatized is a term used in the context of academic or professional appointments, particularly in the United States. It refers to the process by which a candidate is nominated for a position, typically by a department or committee within an institution. This process is often a prerequisite for the candidate to be considered for a formal appointment, such as a faculty position or a leadership role.

The term "nominatized" is derived from the verb "nominate," which means to formally propose someone for a position or role. In the academic context, a candidate may be nominatized for a tenure-track position, a full professorship, or other academic appointments. The nomination process typically involves a review of the candidate's qualifications, research, teaching, and service, as well as letters of recommendation.

Once a candidate is nominatized, they may be considered for a formal appointment by the institution's governing body, such as a faculty senate or a university board. The appointment process may involve additional reviews, interviews, and discussions. The goal of the nominatization process is to ensure that the institution has a diverse and qualified pool of candidates for its positions, and that the appointment process is transparent and fair.
