Promotion and Tenure Policy

Senate is working very hard to move this policy forward. We want to have a completed policy in force before May 1, which is when the cycle in the current policy kicks in. This means we need to have a completed policy approved by the Board of Trustees at its March 10, meeting.

Right now, Senate is reviewing the policy draft prepared by the Senate Task Force. Senate will discuss the policy at its January 19, 2011 meeting, and then forward the draft to faculty for review. Faculty will be able to discuss the policy at a special Faculty Meeting to be held (projected) on February 4, 2011. (A meeting notice will be sent later this week to make this meeting time official.)

Senate's Task Force worked very hard to create an outstanding policy that reflects faculty's input and builds the kind of faculty NLU needs for its next 125 years. Thanks go to the entire membership of that task force.
