Proposed Revisions to Tenure and Promotion Reviews
ACADEMIC YEAR 2010-11
Faculty consideration of a motion from the Faculty Governance and Faculty Life Committees to revise the criteria and procedures for tenure and promotion reviews will resume at the April Faculty meeting. The link immediately below provides a succinct summary of the key provisions of the motion, followed by the rationale for the motion as a whole, and then by the specific text for each section (including both a "mark-up" version of the current Faculty Manual language and a "clean copy" of the proposed text). The remainder of the website shows how proposals for each section have been revised in response to faculty feedback.
