CON Standards and Guidelines for Promotion and Tenure for Academic Rank: Difference between revisions

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">This document provides guiding principles to assist the faculty in preparing their documents for promotion and/or continuous appointment (tenure). Included are the criteria the committee uses in its process of reviewing the faculty documents and forming a recommendation to the Dean. The criteria in this document are areas of evidence that the faculty will demonstrate as their accomplishments in the narratives. The committee anticipates that faculty members will have different accomplishments to cite in the topic areas. There is a Promotion and Tenure webpage on the College of Nursing’s Policy and Procedure wiki that provides a link to the UNMC Promotion and Tenure (P&T) that provides a link to the UNMC Promotion and Tenure guidelines and additional information regarding completion of the application (e.g., application deadlines, coaching assistance, request for reviewer, examples of narratives for the application).</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Promotion in academic rank is available for doctorally prepared faculty members holding a Special Appointment or Health Professions Appointment (HPA). Tenure is only available to those on an HPA. Faculty members on a Special Appointment may request a transfer to a Health Professions appointment if they wish to seek tenure.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">If an individual has a Health Professions Appointment (HPA) or a Special Appointment on an academic track and wishes to seek an appointment for a clinical rank, he/she will need to request a change from a HPA or Special Appointment on an academic track  to a Special Appointment on a clinical track.   Consideration of transfer between tracks represents a major career decision and is pursued only after serious consideration of the implications of such a change, and careful deliberation between the faculty member and appropriate Division Assistant Dean. If mutually agreeable, and an HPA line is available, a one-time, one-way transfer is allowed between a Special appointment and HPA appointment.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The College of Nursing (CON) P&amp;T committee has developed these guidelines to assist you during your preparation of the application. Submission deadlines (section B below) must be met in order to apply for promotion and/or tenure. All CON P&amp;T materials can be found on the Promotion and Tenure webpage. All applicants must follow Academic Track Promotion guidelines and [[CON Promotion and Tenure for Academic Rank|policy 4.4.6 (1)]] for the preparation of their documents. Documents that do not follow all of the guidelines <span style="text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold;">will not be reviewed</span>.</p>
