Our people are our most valuable resource. Supporting faculty members and acknowledging achievements are priorities for nurturing career-long professional development. Tenure and promotion are important to this support and acknowledgement.
Promotion in rank is an acknowledgment of excellence. Tenure is a long-term investment in the sustained contributions of the faculty member. Both are a reflection of cumulative contribution to the mission of IANR and the university.
Deadlines:
Departments and schools set their own deadlines for when tenure and/or promotion materials are due for departmental considerations.
All files for tenure and/or promotion are to be submitted via sharepoint to the IANR Vice Chancellor’s Office by November 15, 2021.
Guidelines:

Special Circumstances
Personal circumstances may prevent a faculty member in a tenure-leading position from performing at the level that is necessary to reach the high expectations of tenure within the timeframe of the probationary period. In such cases, an extension in the tenure clock may be appropriate.
