Tenure and Time
Scope: Faculty are covered by this policy.
Scope: Faculty are covered by this policy.
Unless otherwise permitted by these policies, all members of the faculty holding an appointment with a tenure-eligible rank ordinarily serve a probationary period of six years at Miami University. In unusual circumstances the President, upon recommendation of the department, the department chair, the program director (when appropriate), the Dean of the Regional Campuses (when appropriate), the dean, and the Provost, may waive the probationary period and recommend tenure for a person being appointed to the rank of Associate Professor or Professor. For a person who begins Miami service after the start of an academic year, the time counted toward the probationary period shall begin at the start of the person’s first full academic year of service.
A person is usually considered for tenure in the last year of the prescribed probationary period. Candidates may request permission to waive part of their probationary period and apply for tenure before the beginning of the sixth year. The Candidate must submit the request in writing. The request requires the permission of the department, the department chair, the program director (when appropriate), the dean and the Provost. The Provost will notify the candidate of the decision in writing. A person may be considered for tenure only once (except as permitted by the policy “Rights of a Candidate Who Has Received a Negative Recommendation or Been Denied Tenure or Promotion” section “Presidential Directive That Tenure be Considered the Following Year”). A leave of one year or less will count as part of the probationary period unless the candidate, the department, the department chair, the program director (when appropriate), the Dean of the Regional Campuses (when appropriate), the dean, and the Provost agree in writing at the time the leave is granted to an exception to this provision.
