Promotion and Tenure Planning Workshop Spring 2012 Susan S. Williams Vice Provost for Academic Policy and Faculty Resources

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Definitions P&T committee Eligible faculty Mandatory review Non-mandatory review Tenure initiating unit (TIU) Appointments, promotion and tenure (APT) Procedures oversight designee (POD)

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Moving Through the Ranks at Ohio State: Tenure Track Instructor Maximum 3 years Request for service credit as an instructor must be approved by eligible faculty, TIU head, and OAA Promotion does not require full review

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Moving Through the Ranks at Ohio State: Tenure Track Assistant professor Fourth Year Reviews—occur throughout the year in different units Can come up for non-mandatory review before 6 th year; if negative, candidate can still be considered for mandatory review at the regular time

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Moving Through the Ranks at Ohio State: Tenure Track Assistant professor Mandatory review in 6 th year (or 11 th for faculty in Medicine with significant clinical patient responsibilities) Tenure comes with promotion; only exception is faculty in Medicine with significant clinical patient responsibilities Probationary assistant professors not granted tenure are guaranteed employment for one year after receiving negative decision

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Moving Through the Ranks at Ohio State: Tenure Track Associate professor Associate professors without tenure have a four-year probationary period (6 in Medicine with significant clinical patient responsibilities) Promotion, if earned, not tied to time in rank Eligible faculty have the right to deny a formal review one time and the responsibility to provide guidance to those considering promotion Professor (highest rank, no further promotions)

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Extending the Tenure Clock Three ways to extend tenure clock Birth/adoption of child (guaranteed but must notify dean/director) Adverse events beyond one’s control— need support of department/dean Part-time (approximately 30 faculty take this option) Maximum of 3 years’ extension in one year increments

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Impact of Extension of Probationary Period “Expectations of productivity during the probationary period cannot be increased as a consequence of exclusions of time granted under the term of this rule.” (Rule (D)(6))

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Promotions on the Clinical and Research Tracks and for Auxiliary Faculty APT Documents establish specific criteria Criteria for promotion should reflect the particular responsibilities of faculty on these appointments Dean has the final decision if it’s a negative decision; OAA reviews only positive recommendations Can be promoted at same time as reappointment review or during a contract period

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Promotions on the Clinical and Research Tracks and for Auxiliary Faculty Discussion question: How does your unit go about identifying candidates for a non-mandatory review?

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 How Does the Promotion and Tenure Process Work at Ohio State? Principles Specific criteria developed by the 111 TIUs in APT Documents Peer review (internal and external faculty colleagues) 3 levels of review: unit, college, Office of Academic Affairs

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 APT Documents Include both criteria and documentation Posted on the OAA website ( Should be reviewed by eligible faculty as part of consideration of case

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 External Peer Review Need 5 letters No more than half by candidate Candidate can review list of names Arms’ length Credible source/peer institution Should focus on research/scholarship unless documentation of other areas is included Open-records laws

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 External Review Letters Generally send same material to all reviewers Sample letter of invitation included in dossier (multiple if different materials sent to different reviewers) Discussion question: How does your unit go about soliciting external letters?

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Internal Peer Review (Rules (A)) Provides the foundation for decisions regarding faculty appointment, reappointment, and promotion and tenure. Peers are those faculty who can be expected to be most knowledgeable regarding an individual’s qualifications and performance— normally TIU colleagues or colleagues in related units or centers. Recommendations by the faculty vested with the responsibility for providing peer review will be accepted unless they are not supported by the evidence presented regarding how the candidate meets the criteria established by the units. Administrators and faculty review bodies at the college or university level may make a recommendation that is contrary to that of the TIU if, in its judgment, the TIU recommendation is not consistent with university, college and TIU standards, criteria, policies, and rules.

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Internal Review Letters Need to be solicited by TIU head or P&T committee chair Collaborators Other units on campus in which the candidate holds a joint or courtesy appointment Regional campus letters if applicable Peer reviews of teaching Annual review letters (date of hire or past 5 years)

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Peer Review Conflict of interest Collaborators within department

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Core Dossier Importance of narrative sections Research and teaching statements Description of collaborative effort Quality indicators Time frame Information about accomplishments prior to position OSU:pro now Research in View

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 TIU Level Review Preparation and presentation of case Distribution of materials Confidentiality

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Voting Must attend meeting in order to vote Vote can be immediately after meeting or for some time period afterwards Abstentions do not count as a vote Quorum and percentage vote needed for a positive recommendation are spelled out in the APT Document. OAA recommends a quorum of two-thirds of eligible faculty Quorum does not count eligible faculty who are on leave or have a conflict of interest Percentage needed for a positive recommendation varies by unit from simple majority to 2/3 to 75%

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 TIU Review TIU head may attend the meeting but not vote P&T chair writes a letter summarizing the review and reporting the vote TIU head makes independent assessment

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Internal Recommendation Letters Summary of TIU eligible faculty assessment and vote Contextualize vote Interpretation of documentation/accomplishments Fulfillment of criteria TIU head’s independent assessment Minimal repetition of record Interpretation and assessment including relation to mission of unit

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 TIU Recommendation Candidate has right to review and comment on the letters within 10 days Discussion question: What practices does your unit have regarding how to make sure that the candidate has this right to review?

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 College Level Review (if not TIU) College P&T committee reviews dossier and reports from TIU and chair/director College committee votes and makes recommendation to dean Committee members do not participate in the review of cases from their own units Dean makes recommendation to provost Candidate has right to review and comment on the letters within 10 calendar days

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 University Level Review Provost and/or vice provost review all dossiers; deadlines run from 1 st Friday in January to 3 rd Friday in February. One archival hard-copy required; 10 additional copies required if there is a negative recommendation at any previous level except the college committee. Dossiers with negative or inconsistent recommendations are forwarded to the university promotion and tenure committee, which makes recommendation to provost. Provost makes final decision in all cases

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 University Level Review OAA informs deans of the decisions; deans are responsible for conveying the decision to the appropriate TIU head Positive decisions are forwarded to the Board of Trustees (BOT) for final approval Official notice from provost comes in a letter directly to the faculty member after the BOT meeting, usually in July. Negative decisions can be appealed through Senate Committee on Academic Freedom an Responsibility

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Withdrawing from Review Only the candidate can stop the review once it has begun. Withdrawing from a mandatory review must be in writing and accompany a letter of resignation to the TIU head Last date of employment is no later than May 31 of the year following the mandatory review. Letter must acknowledge that the decision to terminate is irrevocable and that tenure will not be granted.

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Procedural Errors and New Information Significant procedural errors (those that reasonably could have affected the outcome of deliberations) should be corrected before the review continues. The error should be corrected at the level where the error occurred and be fully reconsidered from that point onward. Occasionally it may be appropriate to amend the record when significant new information becomes available. An amended record must be reviewed by all parties to the review process.

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Hiring Senior Faculty When a department is considering making an offer at senior rank (associate professor or full professor), the eligible faculty must vote on the appropriateness of the rank being considered. OAA does not require a full dossier for consideration. Copy of draft letter of offer Candidate’s CV 5 external letters Reviews and recommendations by Eligible faculty TIU head College dean

Promotion and Tenure Workshop, 2012 Off-cycle Review as Part of Retention Effort Off-cycle reviews that are part of a retention effort require complete dossiers, including the core dossier. Consideration of an off-cycle review must be accompanied by evidence of competing offer for tenure/promotion.
