FORMAT FOR PRESENTATION OF TENURE AND PROMOTION MATERIALS
The candidate is responsible for preparing Item 1 and Items 4 through 10, consulting with the chair of the department tenure and promotion committee and as necessary with the department chairperson, and taking into account any department guidelines for preparation of the tenure dossier. Items 2 and 3 will be added by the appropriate individuals or committee during the process. The candidate must submit two copies of the dossier (one of them an original) to the appropriate chair or committee, depending on approved department procedures. The department should add Item 3 before sending the dossiers to the appropriate dean. The dean will add Item 2 and submit the completed dossiers to the Provost/Academic Vice President. One copy of the dossier eventually will be returned to the candidate.
The binders in which the dossiers are to be presented will be provided by the Office of the Provost and Academic Vice President. Also, please use nothing less than a 12-pitch font for all items in the dossiers.
Questions about the preparation of tenure and promotion materials should be directed first to the chair of the department tenure and promotion committee and then to the appropriate dean.
