Promotion and Tenure
Promotion and Tenure (P&T) is a process to evaluate faculty merit based on academic productivity compared with professional peers and potential for significant contribution in their respective fields.

The granting of tenure indicates the faculty member had successful completion of a probationary period and is a permanent member of the university community.
