What are the main recommendations of the report?
The main recommendations are summarized on page 2 of the report: “The Committee recommends that the University adopt policies that create more flexibility in the tenure probationary period. Our central recommendation is that each school and college identify a presumptive time of tenure review and then create fair and consistent policies that may accelerate or postpone the tenure review for faculty members depending on their situations. To permit such policies to develop in the schools and colleges, two crucial changes need to be made in University policy: 1) revising Regents’ Bylaw 5.09 to extend the maximum probationary period from the current eight years to ten years, so that schools and colleges have the freedom to provide longer tenure probationary periods when that is justified by their policies; 2) oversight of school and college policies by the Provost or Chancellor to ensure that school and college policies define fair and clear criteria for decisions about accelerating or post
