Congratulations to the University of Michigan-Flint Faculty Awarded Tenure and/or Promotion May 15, 2008
Posted by Jack Kay in : Uncategorized , trackback15 May 2008, Music Room, Henry Ford Estate, Dearborn, Michigan:
Tenure of university faculty represents the extraordinary commitment of an institution to its faculty members, acknowledging that the accomplishments of the faculty member awarded tenure is such that a lifetime commitment to the faculty member is warranted. The tenure process is highly rigorous and begins with the judgment of the faculty member’s colleagues, both in his or her unit and in her or his discipline.
Promotion to full professor, the highest academic rank, demands extraordinary accomplishment by the faculty member and is also rigorously reviewed by colleagues of higher rank and by external reviewers from the faculty member’s discipline.
Today, upon the recommendation of the appropriate unit faculty, the school or college faculty and Dean, the Provost, the Chancellor, and the President, the Regents of the University of Michigan, at their May meeting held on the Dearborn campus of the University of Michigan, approved tenure and/or promotion for the following University of Michigan-Flint faculty:
