On October 24, President Tripathi promulgated the Faculty Senate Resolution to Revise the Policies, Procedures, and Criteria for Appointment, Promotion & Tenure (CAPT), which had been unanimously approved at the September 17, 2024 Faculty Senate meeting. The updated Policies, Procedures, and Criteria for Appointment, Promotion & Tenure are effective as of July 1, 2025.
The following updated Policies, Procedures, and Criteria for Faculty Personnel Actions is effective starting July 1, 2025 for cases being considered in Fall 2025.
For dossiers submitted BEFORE July 1, 2025 for consideration during the 2024-25 academic year, please use the old Policies, Procedures, and Criteria for Appointment, Promotion & Tenure.
If appropriate, candidates may elect to submit a concise description, no more than two pages, of their contribution to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). They may also choose to integrate these descriptions in their research, teaching, and service statements. The DEI statement provides a context for faculty to share information about how their activities contribute to the goals of the university. If the candidate elects to write a separate DEI statement it should address multiple facets of how their values and experiences have advanced and may continue to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. These might include both individual and collaborative activities in a variety of domains, including research, teaching, service, and mentoring.
