Arlene CarneyVice Provost for Faculty & Academic Affairs
General Topics
Introduction Tenure Code
Proposed New 7.11 Statement Revisions of 7.12 Statements Proposed New 9.2 Statement
Long-Term Planning Dossier Preparation
Introduction
Life course of P & T Associate Professor status Discussion
Life Course of P & T
Six-year probationary period with one grace year for assistant professors
According to Section 5.5 of the Tenure Code, probationary faculty can stop the tenure clock.
Stated explicitly in the Tenure Code
Life Course of P & T
Few departmental 7.12 statements make statements about the expectation to achieve the rank of professor.
Tenure Code is silent on this topic. Criteria for promotion to professor are
often brief and non-explicit.
Guiding Documents
Faculty Tenure Codehttp://www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/humanresources/FacultyTenure.pdf
Procedures for Reviewing the Performance of Probationary Facultyhttp://www1.umn.edu/ohr/policies/performance/probfacreview.html
Faculty Tenure Code
Describes criteria for tenure at the university level
Describes mandatory annual review of probationary faculty
Describes the overall process for tenure and promotion to associate professor
Faculty Tenure Code
Describes the procedures for due process for denial of tenure and/or promotion
Describes post-tenure review process Section 9 describes the appointment
of faculty with indefinite tenure.
Section 7.11
General criteria for promotion and for conferral of indefinite tenure
Handout has old 7.11 and latest draft of 7.11 from the Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee
Section 7.12 of the Tenure Code
Department statement of criteria for promotion and tenure
Must be shown to new faculty according to the tenure code
Should reflect the values of the faculty for promotions and conferral of indefinite tenure
Promotion from Associate to Full Professor
Usually the shortest part of the 7.12 statement.
Most frequent criterion – a national or international reputation.
Since we have no system of reviews for associate professors, the path to promotion is not clear.
Section 9.2 of the Tenure Code
Handout has the old language of the current section 9 – this is proposed as new subsection 9.1.
New subsection of 9.2 is in the handout.
9.2 and Post-Tenure Review
One can remain an associate professor without post-tenure review.
Do need to achieve a higher level of performance to become a professor

Current Status of Associate Professors at Minnesota
Fall of 2005 – 38% of associate professors on the Twin Cities campus had been at that rank for 8 years or more.
Fall of 2005 – looked at full professors who spent their careers at UMTC Average time as an associate professor
was 7.9 years
Midlife Faculty
Baldwin et al. (2005) described stages Probationary period is clearly
demarcated (early life < 39 yrs old) Early midlife (40-49) Late midlife (50-59) Late faculty life ( 60 or older)
Midlife Faculty
Spend more time on teaching and administration in late midlife and late life than other groups.
Early midlife faculty have highest percentage of publications and presentations, with late midlife faculty coming in next.
Midlife Faculty
More early midlife faculty have higher rates of dissatisfaction than other groups.
Time of reassessment and redirection Some report of research productivity
going down.
Criteria for Professor
National and/or international reputation.
Varies by campus and by unit. Need for a long-term plan and short-
term objectives to build the reputation is consistent across campuses and units.
