Promotion and Tenure Processes

Supporting Faculty in Advancing their Careers

The promotion and tenure process is central to a university achieving and embodying excellence and rigor and must be approached in a manner that is intentional, clear, consistent, and equitable.

The Policies of the SUNY Board of Trustees, specifically Art. XII, Title A, paragraph 4 and Title B, paragraph 2, indicate the elements which should be weighed in evaluation of Candidates for promotion and/or continuing appointment.
