It is assumed that it would be impossible for a candidate to meet full expectations in any one department, and that a candidate needs to know what will be expected by each department.
- The document is submitted to the Office of the Dean upon completion and is incorporated in the dossier for reference by the reviewers of the dossier.
- This document is not intended to have a role past initial tenure stage. It is not included in dossiers for promotion of tenured faculty (in particular, for promotion to Professor).
