The “Tenure” tab records information related to tenure review dates
and tenure status. It will be activated and accessible for contract type B tenure-related
appointments only.
- Tenure Credit for Prior Service: In some cases a new faculty
member is given credit for prior professional experience to be applied toward
the period of probationary service required for consideration for indefinite
tenure. Indicate the number of years of credit agreed to by the dean or director
and the Vice President for Academic Affairs at the time of the initial appointment.
- Tenure consideration anticipated in academic year:
This is the academic year when the department, school, or college anticipates
submitting the promotion and tenure case for the faculty member. For
a faculty member appointed with no credit for prior service, this should
be no later than the sixth year following and including the year of
the initial appointment. If credit is given, take the number of credit
years and add a number of years to equal 6 (e.g. 2 years credit plus
4 years = 6 years). In PWAAPPT, enter the academic year using only four
digits (i.e. for academic year 2007/2008, enter "0708").
For Example: If the person you are hiring is given 2 years of credit
and is starting their tenure-related contract on September 16, 2004, this
is what the tenure status section would look like:
Tenure credit for prior service: two years
Tenure consideration anticipated in academic year: 2007/2008
Tenure decision required by: June 15, 2010
- Tenure Decision Required by Date: This date will most always
be June 15th of the 6th year after the first contract. The few circumstances
that this date would be different upon renewal would be if the date has been
adjusted because of leave without pay or extension of the probationary period
for medical or childbirth reasons.
