Promotion and Tenure Guidelines
The College Handbook correctly notes that promotion is one of the "most important rewards in academic life" and that tenure is "the most important commitment the university can make to an individual faculty member...."
This document is to compile and update the procedures that we--as individual faculty, individual units, and a College--must follow and the standards we must apply in making tenure and promotion recommendations to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the Chancellor, and the Board of Regents.
A number of sources (e.g., Bylaws of the Board of Regents, the UNL Guidelines for the Evaluation of Faculty: Annual Evaluations, Promotion, and Tenure, and memos from the Office of the SVCAA and Dean of A&S) have contributed to this document.
