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.
