Review HR-23 (P&T Procedures and Regulations) and Other Documents Located on Web at: http://www.psu.edu/vpaa HR-23 Policy Administrative Guidelines for HR-23 Frequently Asked Questions College and Department Materials P&T Guidelines Committee Lists & Administrators

Processes & Procedures Are Critical Procedural Errors Are Avoidable! (And Costly) Become, and remain, informed of (1) HR23 and (2) the Administrative Guidelines. Be familiar with your unit guidelines. If you are unsure of a process or procedural element . . . ask!

Annual Reminder Promotion & Tenure Rules for Administrators and Committees Do everything you can to help faculty members to succeed, but make the necessary judgments when the time comes to make them. Understand our system of checks and balances, of independent but mutually informed recommendations by faculty peers and administrators reviewing the same set of materials. Recognize our goal: to achieve a faculty appropriate to a major research university with a commitment to teaching and service, so that the internal and external reputations of each unit are constantly improving.

Respectful, civil, and thoughtful disagreements and deliberations are to be expected, and are part of a healthy, academic discourse.

Confidentiality Essential to the process. Responsibility of everyone involved to support this basic tenet. Candidates should not prod committee members or administrators . . . and . . . committee members and administrators should not divulge information to candidates, or anyone, through words, innuendos, or gestures. Confidentiality extends into the future; it is forever!

Levels of Independent Review & Judgment Department/Campus Level Most familiar with candidate’s discipline, quality, and quantity standards. College Level Evaluate record using the college criteria and expectations in context with the departmental criteria. Strive for consistent standards within the college. University Level Ensure compliance with both departmental and college standards while striving for consistent faculty excellence across the University.

Candidate’s Narrative Statement The intent is for the candidate to place her or his work and activities into the context of her or his overall goals and agendas. No longer than 1-2 pages (maximum of 3 pages). Can be written as a single statement at the beginning of the dossier OR divided into 3 parts to accompany the RST sections of the dossier. This is an important component of the dossier.

External Letters Avoid fellow graduate students, co-PIs, former faculty colleagues, and significant collaborators. Use judgment and discretion. No contact between the candidate and the reviewer. Colleges that make courtesy advance contacts to potential reviewers should make such calls through the dean or department head.

Composition and Size of Review Committees Review committees should have at least 3 members. Avoid tie votes by having an odd number of committee members; thus limiting the possibility of tie votes to the rare occasions of abstentions. A tie vote is treated as a negative recommendation. University Committee: 11 members (7 elected by Faculty Senate; 4 appointed by the President).

2012-13 Administrative Guidelines A few minor adjustments but no major changes: Rainbow dividers will no longer be printed. Colleges will now be able to print the dividers from GURU. (https://guru.psu.edu/forms/4-21PromotionandTenureForms.html) Clarifications about the administration of the SRTE. The bullets on supervision (the divider for “The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning”) were combined, and we eliminated the bullet pertaining to supplementary materials. Such materials are not included in the dossier.

Frequently Asked Questions Who is responsible for the preparation of the dossier? With some colleges going toward the Activity Insight generated dossier, won’t some dossiers look different than others? Can collegiality be a factor in tenure reviews? Are peer reviews of teaching accessible for review by the candidate at the time when the candidate signs that he or she has reviewed the dossier?

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) When must consultations occur in the process? Can a person be terminated as a result of a 2nd OR 4th -year review? Are all decisions reviewed by the University P&T Committee? Why are committees no longer being involved in “stay” requests? What is appropriate to include in the dossier regarding staying of the provisional tenure period?

6th-Year Tenure Reviews In 2011-12, there were 94 6th-year tenure cases. 13 cases were denied at the college level and never reached the University level. 81 cases were forwarded to the University Committee. 80 cases (including 10 early tenure cases) had positive recommendations by the submitting dean. Of the 81 cases, the University Committee recommended 80 cases. President Erickson granted tenure for these 80 cases; therefore, one (1) denial occurred at the University-level of review. 85% received tenure (80 of 94 cases).
