Tenure and Promotion Timeline and Process University of Oklahoma, Spring 2016 Simin Pulat Vice Provost for Faculty Development

Tenure and Promotion Process Probationary Period: Specified in the appointment letter. Generally 6 years. The preparation for the process starts late spring in the 5 th year with the Provost’s memo to the Deans for recommendations (late April). Dossier preparation by the faculty member takes place in the spring/summer before the 6 th year. The process officially starts in October and takes a year until the decision is official (6 th year). Tenure and Promotion are two separate processes using the same dossier.

Who are considered? Tenure Late spring – SVPP sends an eligible list to Deans and Directors. “Early tenure” cases must be approved by the SVPP prior to including the name on the list. Promotion Chair/Director identifies faculty to be considered for promotion. Consideration for promotion can be initiated by – Chair/Director – Committee A – At the request of the individual faculty member – At the request of the Dean or SVPP.

Dossier Outline Four Parts: Candidate Data External Evaluations Unit Recommendations Admin Recommendations More details later

Summer After Year 5 Candidate (with help of Chair/Director or mentor as appropriate) prepares the dossier (can start as early as spring semester). Chair/Director uploads supporting materials such as offer letter, criteria for evaluations, evaluations etc. Candidate submits required materials or uploads the materials to on- line system by Oct 1 (candidate access read only after Oct. 1). – Details later. Chair/Director seeks input from the candidate on external reviewers. – More discussion later in my talk. Chair/Director assembles materials to send to external reviewers for their assessment of faculty performance. Deadline for external reviewer evaluations to be entered to the online system is before October 1 st.

More Information on External Evaluators At least three confidential letters of evaluation are required. Units usually require more letters but at least three should have no close academic or personal connections with the candidate. Letters should provide an independent, unbiased evaluation of the candidate's scholarly attainment. Chair and/or Committee A selects evaluators. The candidate may suggest names for consideration. If a candidate has a very specialized field of expertise, one or two evaluators with a close professional connection may be included.

Year 6 (*steps when the candidate is notified of the decision) OCT 1OCT 17 DEC 1 – JAN 16* MAR 2 MAR 12 MAY* Chair/Director ensures all material is online at least two weeks before vote by faculty Committee A, Chair/Director* vote for tenure and/or promotion and justifications are uploaded. SVPP notifies candidates of Regents’ action* PROVOST NOTIFIES Review of tenure dossier and vote by eligible faculty – separate votes for tenure and promotion. Candidate should be available to enter the faculty meeting to answer questions or to clarify circumstances relevant to th qualifications, if invited to do so Campus Tenure Committee* forwards recommendations on process and substance to Provost. (promotion evaluation skips this step) Provost discusses with CTC of any plans to recommend to the President contrary to CTC recommendations Before May Regents meeting –SVPP makes recommendations to the President and notifies candidate, chair/direcotr/dean. President makes his recommendation to the Regents at May Regents’ meeting and notifies SVPP if a recommendation will not be made. Vote by the OU Regents (at May Regents’ meeting). Oct 24 – NOV 3* Dean’s* vote for tenure and justifications are uploaded. Dean’s* vote for promotion and justifications are uploaded. Appeals halt the process temporarily until concluded.

Recommendations Tenure and Promotion evaluations use the same dossier but are two separate evaluations. Those who are eligible to vote can vote: –Grant –Deny –Abstain Voting faculty do not write a justification statement. Committee A, Director, Dean, Campus Tenure Committee attach supporting document for their recommendation on the on-line system.
