Early Consideration for Tenure. (i) Application: Early tenure is a rare occurrence that rewards faculty accomplishments that far exceed the minimum requirements of the faculty member’s FAP in each one of the three areas of research/scholarly achievements, teaching, and service. Faculty will have only one (1) opportunity to be nominated for early tenure. Faculty with less than a full six (6) years of probationary service who demonstrate exceptional achievements may be considered for tenure and promotion after the fifth year if nominated by their department personnel committee, and their chair, and then subsequently approved by their xxxx. Meeting or exceeding the requirements of the FAP prior to the sixth year of probationary service does not qualify an individual for nomination or qualify as an exceptional achievement.
(ii) Nomination: A faculty member must be nominated for consideration of early tenure by both the department personnel committee and the chair. Independent evaluations and letters of nomination from the DPC and chair will not exceed two (2) pages each and will both be accompanied by an up-to-date CV. Letters are due to the xxxx on or before November 1 of that academic year. The letters must demonstrate that faculty accomplishments at EWU far exceed the minimum requirements of the faculty member’s FAP in each one (1) of the three (3) areas of research/scholarly achievements, teaching and service. The xxxx will reply to the applicant in a letter (that is copied to the Chief Academic Officer) either denying or approving the nomination for early tenure and clearly explaining the rationale for the decision on or before December 1 of the same academic year.
(iii) Evaluation: A faculty member whose nomination has been endorsed by all of the above reviewers and approved by the xxxx must submit their portfolio according to the tenure and promotion application deadlines established in the academic calendar to be considered for early tenure. Once the portfolio is submitted, the evaluation process and timeline for tenure and promotion is the same as that of other applicants with the proviso that, in order to attain early tenure, faculty achievements must be adjudged by evaluators to far exceed the minimum requirements of the faculty member’s FAP in each one (1) of the three (3) areas of research/scholarly achievements, teaching, and service.
