Tenure

The Tenure Track, as defined in Section 5.3 of the APP, requires evidence of, and promise of, continuing high quality performance in the categories of research, creative or scholarly activity; education; and service (including clinical care, if relevant). Except in unusual circumstances, criteria for the award of tenure includes evidence of continued excellence in the category of research, creative or scholarly activity and in one other category and at least strength in the third category. Faculty on the tenure track must be academically-salaried University or UMMHC-salaried faculty members.
