Each candidate’s contributions are evaluated in the following four areas:
- Teaching courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels
- Research, creative activities, and other scholarly efforts
- Mentoring, including formal and informal supervision of students and other mentees
- Service, including administrative and committee service to the department, college, and University, and professional public
service to the nation, state, and society
Evidence of internal or external recognition, such as awards, fellowships, and grants, is considered part of the candidate’s contributions to each area of review.
Recommendations for promotion and tenure are based on the candidate’s demonstrated record of career accomplishments, with emphasis focused on accomplishments during the normative time in rank and the trajectory of those contributions, as an indication of future performance.
