Life Course of P & T
Few departmental 7.12 statements make statements about the expectation to achieve the rank of professor.
Tenure Code is silent on this topic. Criteria for promotion to professor are
often brief and non-explicit.

![Page 10: Promotion to Full Professor](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56812d48550346895d924e4d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Section 7.12 of the Tenure Code
Department statement of criteria for promotion and tenure
Must be shown to new faculty according to the tenure code
Should reflect the values of the faculty for promotions and conferral of indefinite tenure
![Page 11: Promotion to Full Professor](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56812d48550346895d924e4d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Promotion from Associate to Full Professor
Usually the shortest part of the 7.12 statement.
Most frequent criterion – a national or international reputation.
Since we have no system of reviews for associate professors, the path to promotion is not clear.
![Page 12: Promotion to Full Professor](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56812d48550346895d924e4d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Section 9.2 of the Tenure Code
Handout has the old language of the current section 9 – this is proposed as new subsection 9.1.
New subsection of 9.2 is in the handout.

9.2 and Post-Tenure Review
One can remain an associate professor without post-tenure review.
Do need to achieve a higher level of performance to become a professor
