Hi all -- I'm trying to puzzle through a couple of issues and am hoping to tap some collective gep-ed wisdom:
1. How are your campuses thinking about the COVID shock and its impacts on tenure, promotion, and merit decisions? Is there any discussion of temporary accommodations or other changes in policy? 2. On a bigger structural question: the preoccupation with journal rankings in tenure and promotion decisions can penalize people who are working on racial justice or other issues of social importance. Are there examples out there of campuses trying to broaden understandings of scholarly and societal impact? Any specific language in tenure and promotion guidelines that you can share? Please send any thoughts directly to me and I'll send a summary back to the list.
