Revised January 1998
I. INTRODUCTION
As we continue with our University planning processes, it is essential that we proceed in an exemplary fashion to utilize more effectively our critically important faculty resources. The occasion of each new faculty appointment presents an opportunity to help reposition your academic unit and the University to achieve our approved academic priorities. Each promotion, particularly the promotions to Associate Professor with tenure and to Professor, constitutes a major affirmation that truly outstanding teaching and scholarly achievements have occurred on the part of a colleague whose work is consistent with the goals of the academic unit and the University. It is therefore of critical importance that the following guidelines be adhered to as they represent strategies for making our most important faculty decisions.
