What are the University’s current rules about the tenure probationary period? Do all of the schools and colleges have the same rules?

0

The University’s current policies are described in “Guidelines Regarding University of Michigan Policies that Govern Time to Tenure Review (“The Tenure Clock”) and Related Matters (Ann Arbor Campus)”. “Thus, the University views the eight years as a deadline within which the University must either grant tenure to, or terminate, a tenure track faculty member. Except in extraordinary cases, a school or college must make the decision about tenure for a faculty member no later than the end of the faculty member’s seventh year on the University-wide tenure clock.” Within the framework of the University’s policy, different schools and colleges have established different times for tenure review (ranging from year five to year seven of the probationary period). This variation across the U-M has been in effect for many years.
