TENURE

A probationary faculty member becomes a candidate for tenure when he/she submits a tenure request, which documents contributions to the department, college, and University in the areas of teaching, scholarly and artistic achievement, professional growth and development, and service to the University and community. A tenure request will normally be submitted for evaluative action during the fifth year of continuous full-time service in a tenure earning position. All tenure requests, whether or not approved, will be acted upon and forwarded through channels. All supporting materials will accompany the recommendation until the procedures have been completed.

Refer to the IFO/MnSCU-Board of Trustees Agreement for specific information concerning tenure.
