Holds on the Tenure Clock
Grounds1. In the case of disability or extended and/or severe personal illness;
2. For compelling obligations to a member of the family or household that requires significant time away from University duties; 3. In the event of the birth or adoption of a child under six years old; and 4. Under circumstances beyond the control of the faculty member, such as a grave administrative error.
The faculty member’s record before the event must be consistent with the preservation of institutional quality. The criterion on this aspect is that the faculty member is making appropriate, demonstrable progress toward attaining indefinite tenure.
