Appendices

:

a.

Numerical Course Evaluation Scores:

Candidates must submit all numerical

course evaluation scores collected during their time at the College.

b.

Narrative Course Evaluations:

Candidates must submit a representative

selection of narrative course evaluation responses—that is the entire set of

responses for a selection of classes taught at different levels and, perhaps,

subsequent points of development.

c.

Teaching Materials:

At the option of the candidate, relevant teaching

materials may be submitted as evidence of excellence in teaching, such as

syllabi, sample assignments, or links to online material especially prepared for

a course.

d.

Documents Relating to Research, Scholarship, and/or Creative Work:

Because different disciplines define scholarship in different ways, candidates

should document their scholarly activity, as well as its reception by

recognized authorities in the scholarly or artistic communities, in ways that

would be helpful to the Promotion and Tenure Committee, the Provost, and

the President. The candidate may wish to do so by including such materials as

reviews, citations, or written evaluations. The candidate should also include a

copy of his or her department’s guidelines on research, scholarship and/or

creative work, which are available on the main page of the Intranet.

e.

Documents Relating to Service

: The candidate may include documents related

to service activities.

f.

Additional Letters:

Letters of evaluation from students, graduates of the

College, members of professional organizations, colleagues at other

institutions, or members of the community are entirely optional. Any letters

included should specifically address the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses.

Thank you notes and vague or general letters are discouraged.

After the application file is presented to the Provost and all letters, including the

departmental summary letter, letters sent to and solicited by the Provost, and the pre-

tenure reviews have been included, the application is reviewed by the Promotion and

Tenure Committee. If relevant information should become available after the file has

been submitted (an accepted publication, for example) that information should be

presented to the Committee by the Department Chair. The Committee may seek

additional information including, but not limited to, information sought directly from the

candidate and/or consultations with both tenured and non-tenured faculty members. The

Committee’s recommendation should be submitted to the Provost by March 1. The

Provost will have one month for additional fact finding before the recommendation,

along with all supporting documents, is forwarded to the President for a final decision.
