PROMOTION AND TENURE PROCEDURES FOR THE
DIVISION OF PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS (DPEA)
1. The DPEA will follow standard IPFW procedures governing promotion and tenure cases–see the annual Promotion and Tenure Timetable promulgated by the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, currently available at:
www.ipfw.edu/vcaa/promotion/PDFs/PromotionAndTenureTimetable.pdf
Dossiers must be submitted by candidates seeking promotion and/or tenure to the Division Director by September 1.
2. The Division Promotion and Tenure Committee members will make an assessment and take a formal vote on a candidate’s case in each of the three categories (research, teaching, and service). Abstentions are not permissible. Committee members will either rate the candidate “excellent,” “highly satisfactory,” “satisfactory,” or “unsatisfactory” in all three categories. Promotion and/or tenure can result by achieving an “excellent” rating in one category and at least a “satisfactory” rating in the other two categories. Committee members will base their decision on an assessment of the vita, a narrative statement, documentation of research, teaching, and service, as well as internal and external reviews. The recommendation of the committee members will be forwarded by the chair to the Division’s director by September 30.
3. Three tenured members of the Division will be appointed by the Director on an annual basis. The members will elect a chair. Where vacancies or absences may exist, tenured colleagues from other social science disciplines at IPFW may serve at the discretion of the Division’s Director.
