2023-24 Promotion & Tenure
About the Review
The promotion and tenure process provides a thorough and objective review of the substance and merits of each faculty member’s case following customary methods. The review must be sufficient in its depth and character to support action in the best interests of the university, whatever the decision reached. To accomplish this, the evaluation process comprises an independent review at multiple levels. The recommendations at each level reflect the professional judgment of each of those involved, with the president making the final recommendation.
