  1. Promotion and tenure (P&T) criteria at research-focused universities typically emphasise research scholarship and productivity. Unfortunately, ‘research’ is often narrowly defined as activities specific to a particular discipline. Rarely does ‘research’ include other activities, even when they are supported by external funding or have archival journals dedicated to their subject. These other activities promote professional development of faculty while advancing university goals; however, despite their importance, these activities are rarely acknowledged in P&T criteria. This paper presents the results of a study that investigates how some universities have diversified P&T paths to be inclusive of broader faculty accomplishments. Recommendations are offered regarding steps to update or develop P&T policies and procedures that give credit for a wider spectrum of faculty activities.

  2. An obstacle to hiring faculty is the inability to offer a spouse or partner an appropriate faculty position or other employment. The development of clear dual-career faculty hiring policies can be a significant step forward in establishing a consistent approach to securing employment for spouses or partners of intended faculty hires. Dual-career programs at a variety of universities were analyzed to determine if any common features existed that could be adapted by a university seeking to implement such a program. This paper presents the results of that study, including recommendations for universities to consider as they develop dual-career hiring programs.
