Abstract
  • In recent years, the Promotion and Tenure process has been increasingly called into question by state lawmakers, public citizens, and even the academic community. With such questions in mind, Ball State University has worked to amend our promotion and tenure procedures to embrace inclusion and innovation, both by emphasizing the societal impact faculty members can have through their community-engaged work, and by providing more diverse and dynamic support and resources for our faculty members. We support this commitment to the faculty lifecycle from recruitment to retirement beginning with the New Faculty Academy, an experience for first semester faculty that encourages them to build inter- and transdisciplinary research and teaching cohorts. We have established a multitude of other faculty resource supports, including reciprocal mentoring models, centrally supported writing challenges, a newly formed mentoring group for STEM faculty from underrepresented populations, a newly proposed model for cluster hiring, and an entire month of programming geared to help faculty learn how to introduce community-engaged teaching and scholarship into their promotion and tenure documents. Now that we have such a rich array of resources in place, we are working with our colleges and departments to make the language in our documents more inclusive. We look forward to collecting data to demonstrate the overall impact these DEI and I&E structures will have on our overall faculty productivity.
