Tenure and Promotion Committee Training Sessions

Article 9.1.9 requires that members and alternates serving in their first year on a Tenure or Promotion Committee (or on UTPC) attend one of the workshops conducted jointly by the MRFA and Academic Affairs. Topics include responsibilities of committee members, tenure and promotion criteria, congruence of scholarship expectations with teaching loads at an undergraduate university, the need for flexibility in assessing a candidate’s performance, training on equity, diversity and inclusion, and the principles of due process and natural justice. Additional information will be provided this year regarding tenure and promotion process considerations relating to the pandemic.

Sessions are being offered on multiple days to ensure you can attend. Register for one of the sessions listed below and you will receive a calendar invite for the session you register for.

Participation is not limited to those who are required to attend.  Anyone who would like to or feels they need a refresher is most welcome.  For those unable to attend any of the below sessions, but who require the training are asked to contact Chantelle Anderson (facultyrelations@mrfa.net)
