Departmental Guidelines
To ensure sufficient flexibility, equity, and integrity in the evaluative process, each department develops, in consultation with and with the final approval of the Promotion and Tenure Committee and the appropriate Dean, a document that clearly articulates departmental expectations for teaching effectiveness, professional achievement, and service.
Approved guidelines can be found alphabetically by department, below, along with the associated Approval Report. Please see your Dean or your P&T Committee Chair regarding draft guidelines currently undergoing evaluation.
