AB  -                    Negotiating the Tenure and Promotion ProcessA tenure and promotion panel discussion and question and answer session was conducted duringa management, technology, and applied engineering conference. The purpose of this forum wasto provide junior faculty members—tenure track assistant professors primarily—withperspectives on negotiating the reappointment, tenure, and promotion process. It also providedaudience members who make tenure and promotion recommendations with an opportunity toshare their perspectives and to glean insights.The panel was comprised of tenured faculty and administrators who shared their experiencesnegotiating the process themselves; who advise, counsel, guide, and support junior faculty; andwho serve as tenure gatekeepers. In preparation, an inquiry was made seeking questions andconcerns from a defined population. Included but not limited to the following were among theinputs: techniques, strategies, etc. that have resulted in successful tenure and promotion;developing a roster of possible external reviewers; value of applied research verses basicresearch; developing a research agenda; moderate to heavy teaching loads verses developing aresearch agenda; pursuing tenure and promotion expectations verses negative political fallout;trends in weighing or valuing research verses teaching. Concurrently, an invitation was extendedto a defined population of potential panelists who possess and would be willing to share theirtenure and promotion process experiences.Once identified, the panelists were sent the suggested inputs solicited from the potential forumattendees in preparation for the forum. The panelists were asked to review the inputs and toidentify two to three topics on which they would talk.The purpose of this paper is to share the findings of the aforementioned tenure and promotionpanel discussion and question and answer session, to share reflections on the forum, and to offersuggestions for negotiating the tenure and promotion process based on the results of the forum. Itis anticipated the paper will serve as an impetus for continued dialogue on this topic ofconsiderable importance for sustaining professional excellence.
