Joint faculty may have little or not input regarding external evaluators. Promotion and tenure procedures are not sufficiently known to all faculty, and candidates require more guidance regarding material preparation. The candidate should fully understand the process. There is at least some lack of confidence in the fairness of the process. In addition, some feel that the college should aim for a less cumbersome, more streamlined procedure that is well motivated and has clear accountability.
Joint appointments require careful consideration at review time.
A proposed set of practices for ensuring full participation by the relevant units is spelled out in Attachment B . We hope this forum will promote valuable discussion and feedback on the report.
