Tenure, CCE and Promotion

Tenure, Certificate of Continuous Employment (CCE) and Promotion

Tenure, Promotion and CCE decisions are made on the basis of the candidate’s record of performance in teaching, scholarship (for those in the professorial series) and service. The balance between these areas and, in particular, the numbers of publications, or for those in the studio or performing arts, the numbers of shows or performances, necessary for tenure and promotion is difficult to define given the differences between fields of study and types of scholarship. It is clear, however, that teaching or service alone, in the absence of scholarship, while adequate for the CCE is not adequate for tenure. The tenure and promotion committees strive to recognize scholarship in the broadest terms including: scholarship of discovery or original research; scholarship of integration, scholarship of application and scholarship of teaching (Boyar, EL, Scholarship Reconsidered; Priorities of the Professoriate, Princeton, N.J., The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, 1990).

The Committee is particularly interested in documentation of quality and excellence in all three areas of teaching, scholarship and service. Indicators of qualities and excellence include but are not limited to the following:

Teaching: Peer reviews, student course reviews, teaching awards, syllabi, development of new courses, and participation in teaching development programs such as Writing Across the Curriculum.
Scholarship: Quality of journals in which papers are published, whether or not they are peer reviewed, the quality of book publishing houses, peer reviewed grant support and particularly support by national agencies, reviews of performances or exhibits, and reviews of the candidate’s body of work by faculty external to the university who are experts in the candidate’s field of scholarship.
Service: Service may be at the level of the department, school or university, professional organizations or community. Service is evaluated by the level of work and commitment entailed in providing the particular service.

Tenure, CCE and Promotion Recommendation Schedules

Calendar for Consideration of Tenure, Promotion and CCE Recommendations

In the spring semester, faculty members are advised of deadlines for consideration for Tenure, Promotion, and the Certificate of Continuous Employment (CCE). For specific dates, contact the office of the Provost at 718-960-8222.

Please be advised that tenure, promotion and CCE recommendations are reviewed by the Tenure, Promotion and CCE (hereafter the TPCCE) subcommittee of the FP&B during the months of September and October. It is important therefore that the work to prepare these files is completed by the end of August. The FP&B usually reviews recommendations for tenure and CCE early November.

Candidate files are uploaded to Digital Measures (the electronic repository for reappointment, tenure, promotion and CCE files).

Calendar for Consideration of Promotion Recommendations

Prospective candidates for promotion to professor or associate professor (not occurring with tenure review) must notify their department chair that they wish to be considered for promotion by the first week of September. (See Administrative Calendar for deadline date.)

The Department Chair then notifies the Provost with copy to the dean of all prospective candidates for promotion.

Mid-January of the spring semester is the deadline for submission of departmental recommendations, updated curriculum vitae and supporting material to the Office of the Provost via Digital Measures. See Administrative Calendar for deadline date for appeals from negative promotion decisions of Departmental Personnel and Budget.

Note: Persons denied recommendation for promotion through the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget procedures or denied recommendation for promotion upon appeal of departmental decisions to the TPCCE committee may appeal in writing to the President within ten business days of notification of the negative action.

In preparing for the Promotion review process, please remember to assist the Committee by assuring that the files include the following:

  • A minimum of 4 outside reviewer letters. At least two of these letters should be obtained from a list of persons suggested by the candidate and at least two should be obtained from a list of persons chosen by the Chair and the departmental Personnel and Budget Committee in consultation with department members whose fields are closest to those of the candidate.
  • The candidate’s CV in standard format
  • All annual evaluations
  • Decanal reviews and/or Pre-Tenure Review
  • Peer teaching observations from every semester
  • Student evaluation of  teaching and learning (SETLs) from every semester
  • Encourage the candidate to include a statement of his/her philosophy of teaching and scholarship and documentation of how that philosophy is demonstrated.
  • Include where appropriate examples of syllabi and /or creative assignments and teaching techniques.

The file should be arranged so that to the greatest extent possible all items on the CV are documented. Reviewers must hold the candidate’s rank or a higher rank and should not be from CUNY.

Procedures for the Faculty Personnel and Budget Committee on Tenure, Promotion and Certificate of Continuous Employment

1. The Faculty Personnel and Budget Committee on Tenure, Promotion and the Certificate of Continuous Employment (hereafter the TPCCE) shall consist of nine tenured Chair members. The TPCCE shall be elected by the voting members of the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget. The Chief Librarian, if tenured, is eligible for election as an at-large member of the TPCCE. No Chair member may serve more than two consecutive terms. Candidates unable to serve shall withdraw their names from consideration prior to the initial ballot. In the first round of votes, each eligible voter will vote for nine nominees. The individual with the highest number of votes from each of the four schools will be nominated, provided that individual is otherwise eligible to serve on the committee. The additional five with the highest votes will be nominees. If no chair in a division is eligible to serve, additional nominees will be drawn from those with the highest number of votes. Ties will be broken by random process to be determined by the tellers at the time of election. The nominees will be selected in the second and subsequent rounds of voting. In each round, the individual(s) with the lowest number of votes is/are eliminated.

All members of the TPCCE committee are expected to serve a full term, but in the event that any elected Chair subsequently is unable to continue due to illness or other significant reason, the Chair with the next highest number of votes shall assume that seat on the TPCCE committee.

2.a. Recommendations for reappointment with tenure or the certificate of continuous employment are initiated by each departmental Personnel and Budget Committee.

b. When a candidate is considered for reappointment with tenure or the certificate of continuous employment, the Chair shall be responsible for the preparation of the standardized Curriculum Vitae which shall include a meaningful analysis of the results of student evaluations. The Chair may add his or her own comments on this evaluation as part of the "Chair's Report."

The candidate is responsible for promptly supplying the Chair with the information needed to update the Curriculum Vitae. In addition, a candidate may write a statement about him/herself of no more than 2-5 pages to accompany his/her standardized Curriculum Vitae. Candidates who desire in such a statement to emphasize teaching effectiveness should include in their files supplementary material, including syllabi, sample examinations, and other appropriate instructional materials, to document their teaching effectiveness.

c. In preparing the standardized Curriculum Vitae, the Chair shall distinguish clearly between sole authorship and joint authorship of books, monographs, and articles. All bibliographical entries shall contain the number of pages and, where appropriate, all specific page numbers. If a candidate desires to indicate sources where his/her publications have been reviewed or discussed, complete bibliographical reference for the reviews and/or discussions should be supplied.

d. The "Chair's Report" for each candidate shall normally be no longer than 2-5 pages and shall include the departmental Personnel and Budget Committee's vote on the candidate. It should not repeat material included in the standardized Curriculum Vitae but should represent the collective judgment of the Personnel and Budget Committee together with any additional opinion the Chair may wish to express in that title.

e. It is within the Chair's discretion to show the "Chair's Report" to the members of the Personnel and Budget Committee. The "Chair's Report" shall be placed in the candidate's administrative personnel file in Digital Measures and shall not be shown to the candidate.

f. Since recommendations will be based partially on the information supplied in the standardized Curriculum Vitae, including the "Chair's Report," it is imperative for the Chair to do everything possible to insure the accuracy, relevance, and validity of the contents of the standardized Curriculum Vitae.

*g. For reappointment with tenure, at least four letters of evaluation from persons outside the University shall be solicited by the Chair and included in the candidate's administration file. At least two of these letters should be obtained from a list of persons suggested by the candidate and at least two should be obtained from a list of persons chosen by the Chair and the departmental Personnel and Budget Committee in consultation with department members whose fields are closest to those of the candidate. Letters requesting evaluations must be designed to elicit objective judgments; copies of the requests are to be included in the administration file, together with titles and addresses of all persons solicited. Outside letters of evaluation already in the file may be used; however, for those more than two years old, the author should be asked if a more current version is needed.

h. Departmental Personnel and Budget Committees may not reconsider their recommendations after the date that the recommendations are due. Any member or members of a departmental Personnel and Budget Committee, may submit a statement of decent from any decision concerning tenure, promotion or the certificate of continuous employment made by the departmental Personnel and Budget Committee on or before the date that the recommendations are due.

*g. Not required for titles in the Lecturer and College Laboratory Technician series.

3. a. The TPCCE committee will meet on the call of its chair and will examine the standardized Curricula Vitae of candidates for tenure, promotion and the certificate of continuous employment. The Committee as a whole will consult with each Chair and the appropriate School Dean, and with those candidates for whom consultation is considered necessary and potentially fruitful. The TPCCE Committee may consult informed persons on or off campus concerning the qualifications of candidates for tenure, promotion or the certificate of continuous employment, and may call for additional evidence from candidates or their Chairs.

The TPCCE committee shall review the personal and administration personnel files of candidates. The Committee may establish subcommittees within its membership to assist in its work.

b. The TPCCE committee will take into consideration the vote of the departmental Personnel and Budget Committee, and evidence that the departmental committee is convinced that granting tenure, promotion or the certificate of continuous employment to a given candidate is in the best interest of the department, the school, and the College.

c. The TPCCE committee will vote on recommendations for tenure and for the certificate of continuous employment by secret ballot.

d. The chair of the TPCCE committee will inform promptly the committee of the results of its voting. The chair of the committee will submit in writing the recommendations with the results of the voting to the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget and will also make an oral report on each candidate, summarizing the TPCCE committee's deliberations as well as the recommendations of the School Dean.

After consideration of the candidates and the recommendations of the TPCCE committee, the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget will vote on recommendations for tenure, promotion and the certificate of continuous employment by secret ballot. The College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget will submit its affirmative recommendations to the President for subsequent action. The Provost will inform promptly the candidates, the Department Chairs, and the School Dean of the recommendations and actions of the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget.

e. A candidate not recommended for tenure or the certificate of continuous employment by a department may appeal in writing to the TPCCE committee within ten days of notification of non-recommendation. After consideration of the appeals, the TPCCE committee will vote on each appeal by secret ballot. The chair of the Tenure and Certificate Committee will inform the appellants of the action of the committee on the appeal. If the Tenure and Certificate Committee finds that the appeal may have merit, the committee shall advise the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget, which shall then deliberate and vote upon the appeal.

f. Persons denied recommendation for tenure, promotion or the certificate of continuous employment by the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget or denied recommendation for tenure, promotion or the certificate of continuous employment upon appeal of departmental decisions to the TPCCE committee may appeal in writing to the President within ten days of notification of non-recommendation.

g. The President will inform the candidates and the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget of the President's recommendations to the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York

4. At its meeting of September 22, 1975, the Board of Higher Education adopted a

Statement of the Board of Higher Education on Academic Personnel Practice in the City University of New York, which included the following provisions on tenure:

1. The decision to grant tenure shall take into account institutional factors such as the capacity of the department or the college to renew itself, the development of new fields of study, and projections of student enrollment.

2. The criteria upon which decisions to tenure are based shall be as follows:

  • Teaching Effectiveness - Tenure appointments shall be made only when there is clear evidence of the individual's ability and diligence as a teacher.
  • Scholarship and Professional Growth – Evidence of new and creative work shall be sought in the candidate's published research or in his instructional materials and techniques when they incorporate new ideas or scholarly research. Works should be evaluated as well as listed, and work in progress should be assessed. When work is a product of a joint effort, it is the responsibility of the department chairman to establish as clearly as possible the role of the candidate in the joint effort.

The following factors may be supplementary considerations in decisions on tenure. The weight accorded to each will vary from case to case.

Service to the Institution – The faculty plays an important role in the formulation and implementation of University policy, and in the administration of the University. Faculty members should therefore be judged on the degree and quality of their participation in College and University Government. Similarly, faculty contributions to student welfare, through service on committees or as an advisor to student organizations, should be recognized.

  • Service to the Public – Service to the community, state and nation, both in the faculty member’s special capacity as a scholar and in areas beyond this when the work is pertinent and significant, should be recognized.

3. Tenure shall not normally be granted before the fifth annual reappointment. Only in exceptional cases may tenure be granted before that time: when appointment to the faculty at the University requires the continuation of tenure previously awarded by another institution of higher learning; when a prestigious fellowship valuable to the college concerned interrupts continuous service during the probationary period; or when some extra-ordinary reason indicates that the college would be well served by the early grant of tenure.

It is understood that lecturers (full-time) shall not be required to have a research commitment.

Adopted by the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget on December 6, 1994; April 12, 2005 and May 5, 2015.
