Section V.A: Faculty Reviews - Graduate School

The Graduate School is a community that values teaching, scholarship, and service as related expressions of a single vocation. Reviews of performance, especially those concerned with promotion and tenure, require careful consideration of candidates’ contributions to their students’ knowledge and professional practice, to the generation of new knowledge and research in the profession in which they serve, , and to the general good and mission of their school, institution, and broader professional community (i.e. service). While specific contributions and emphases may vary from one faculty member to another, and accomplishments might be presented in different ways, all faculty members are expected to demonstrate accomplishment in these areas. The assessment of these contributions shall include descriptions and evidence supplied by the candidates, faculty members in the professional program(s) in which the candidates serve, and others as specified in the document that follows.
