Vice President for Academic and
Student Affairs
MEMORANDUM
TO:
All Tenure Track Faculty
FROM: Rebecca O. Turner
Vice President for Academic and Student
Affairs
DATE:
September 4,
2007
SUBJECT: Call for Promotion and Tenure
Applications
Eligible faculty are invited to submit portfolios and documentation of
their
accomplishments for promotion and/or tenure consideration.
Guidelines for
the portfolio and the schedule for promotion and tenure process 2007-08
are
included as attachments to this memorandum. Portfolios are to be
reviewed
for recommendations by department heads, deans and the Vice President
for
Academic and Student Affairs.
The criteria for promotion and tenure are found in the 2003 Faculty
Handbook. The Handbook is available on the Academic Affairs’
homepage at http://www.jsu.edu/depart/avpasa/Handbook.htm.
The criteria in the Handbook represent minimum standards.
Additional
criteria are used by colleges and/or departments. The
tenure policy
establishes the ranks of assistant professor, associate professor, and
professor as tenure-track positions. The rank of instructor,
visiting
faculty, adjunct faculty, and pro-rata temporary faculty appointments
are ranks
which are not eligible for tenure.
Portfolios will be submitted to the department head who will make them
available for review. Portfolios submitted for promotion may be
reviewed
by all faculty in the candidate's department or college having rank
equivalent
to, or higher than, that being sought. Portfolios submitted for
tenure
may be reviewed by all tenured faculty in the candidate's department or
college.
All faculty are invited to submit letters to the department head so
that
information contained may be used in formulating a
recommendation. To
verify collegiality, letters may be included from professional peers
and
colleagues external to the University as well as within the University
community.
Your participation in this process is appreciated. Please contact
your
department head or dean for additional information.
