Criteria for Promotion to Full Professor of Tenured Faculty Members Sample Clauses

Criteria for Promotion to Full Professor of Tenured Faculty Members. The College seeks to promote to full professor candidates who continue to show evidence of excellence in all three categories of evaluation, while achieving a measure of leadership and increased stature in these endeavors. The College recognizes the value of encouraging faculty to take intellectual risks in the post-tenure period and therefore embraces a range of possible forms that distinction in scholarship or creativity may take. The College also acknowledges that successful candidates can differ in patterns of strength across these three categories, and that each tenured faculty member can find the appropriate balance to invest their energy, though appreciable achievement since tenure in all three areas is expected. In particular, the promotion evaluation considers leadership in the College, including an expectation of substantive faculty roles such as program director, divisional chair, and other signal leadership roles in faculty governance, academic centers, or campus-wide initiatives.
