Promotion to Full Professor Cases

Note: To alleviate the congestion of conducting 35+ promotion and tenure reviews in the spring semester, the time table for review of promotion only cases will be moved up to allow for reviews to take place now in the fall semester.  

Beginning with academic year 2020/21 the deadline for submitting materials for promotion from Associate Professor to Full Professor will be June 1, 2020 for preliminary materials and September 21, 2020 for the completed docket. The FAS P&T Committee will, whenever possible review the case in the fall semester, with promotion effective the following academic year, (e.g. September 1, 2021). All case materials must be forwarded to the Office of the Associate Dean through Interfolio.   (See section 2.5). Petal Wellington (212) 998-8067.

Mid-Year Tenure Reviews

For faculty with mid-year tenure review (Spring 2020 - Fall 2020), the relevant deadline dates are June 1, 2020 for preliminary materials and September 21, 2020 for submission of completed docket.

New Hires with Tenure

The Provost's Office has established a timeline for the review of tenure dockets including new hires with tenure. FAS must submit completed dockets to the Provost Office no later than May 11, 2020. With this in mind, the Department Chair must submit the completed Tenure Docket (original and those same papers in pdf format) no later than April 13, 2020. Preliminary materials (e.g. CV, statement of teaching and research interests, list of evaluators, and publications in pdf format, except for books) will be needed by February 21, 2020.

For new hires with tenure who cannot be reviewed by the stated deadlines, their appointments may need to be delayed to the following semester or academic year (Spring 2020 or Fall 2020), or their initial appointment can be in a non-tenured position as Visiting Professor or Professor without tenure, with the understanding that their status will be changed as soon as the tenure process is completed. It is important that in communicating with candidates for tenured positions that they be made aware of these restrictions in the timing of our tenure review process.
