Post Tenure Review File. A faculty member subject to review must create a confidential post-tenure review file, which is the sole basis for review, containing the following information: the department’s or unit’s approved tenure, promotion, and merit criteria; a current curriculum vitae; a list of additional activities not covered by the curriculum vitae; summary evidence of instructional excellence (last three years of instructional evaluation data); summary evidence of scholarly/creative activities, and service activities (for the review period); and a brief narrative statement (no longer than 3 pages or 1,500 words). The narrative statement should briefly outline the faculty member’s goals for professional development, describing past accomplishments and future objectives specific to those goals, and it may also identify barriers to or necessary resources for the accomplishment of these objectives. The candidate should also review progress toward goals cited during a prior review process and challenges that impacted their performance toward those goals. The faculty member’s department chair will provide the annual merit evaluations for the relevant six-year period preceding the review. NOTE: While the file is currently conceptualized as a paper-based document, the University reserves the right to move toward a digital portfolio management system at some point.
