A joint publication from the American Association for Higher Education's
New Pathways Project and Anker Publishing Company, this book is the
second in a series on review, renewal, and vitality of tenured faculty.
Discussed here is how to report the results of post-tenure review
responsibly, accurately, and effectively.
Because post-tenure review policy in higher education is a relatively
young phenomenon, few examples are available of effective and practical
ways for campuses and systems to assess their policies, report on
results, and reflect on their meaning. This volume fills provides
guidelines for placing data in perspective and creating knowledge that
leads to wise policymaking and institutional learning.
Providing examples of how this can be accomplished, the authors also
supply extensive appendices that contain examples of data collection and
forms, comprehensive reports, and implementation studies. This is an
invaluable guide to those in the field who are grappling with how to
track, report, and use information on the results of tenured faculty
review in a realistic, reflective, and practical way.
