Promotion, Tenure, and Hiring

[Last updated: May 1, 2020]

With rare exceptions, faculty and staff hiring has been paused university-wide until at least June 30, 2021. Tenure-track faculty have been granted a 1-year tenure clock extension; details of FAS implementation have been sent to all affected faculty. For any ongoing departmental personnel decisions, remote voting policies are in place for the Spring 2020 semester. The FAS Dean’s Office will issue reappointment letters to instructional faculty.
