Promotion and Tenure

Promotion and tenure recommendations are among the most important decisions made at the University. The choices that the University makes in granting promotion and tenure are vital to its endeavors toward academic excellence. Guidelines for the promotion and/or tenure process are found in department and school faculty evaluation plans and the Faculty Senate Rules and Regulations, Article VI.
The reference materials available will help to familiarize you with the basic policies and procedures associated with the promotion and tenure process at The University of Kansas.

Promotion and Tenure Annual Open Meeting
The Provost's Office will hold its annual open meeting via ZOOM on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. for departmental and school promotion and tenure committee members, chairpersons, deans, and all interested faculty members, to discuss procedures to be followed in the preparation and review of recommendations for promotion and tenure.
We are asking for promotion and/or tenure questions in advance, via this Qualtrics form. We will also be taking questions during the event, but submitting them in advance will help determine the focus topics. We cannot promise will we get to every question during the meeting, but all questions are welcome and encouraged.
