Addressing Promotion and Tenure Issues in SFOS: Roles, Processes, and Best Practices

This document discusses critical issues related to the promotion and tenure (P&T) processes within the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS). It outlines the previous and current P&T systems, highlights issues with peer voting and mentorship, and proposes a new combined approach to streamline processes. The role of faculty chairs and directors in the P&T system, as well as the integration of research faculty evaluations, are also examined. Suggestions for best practices and improvements to mentoring programs are provided to enhance faculty development and support.
