Hi Joyce and all Tipsters,
For those writing letters, I would suggest the following.
Having finished two years chairing the rank and tenure committee at my
university, I would suggest that you get hard copy letters sent through
snail mail. I would also suggest that these letters be sent to the
committee and cc. to you.
The position of my university is that e-mail is equivalent to unsigned
testimony (due to the ease of falsifying e-mail addresses, etc. - we
worried more about "hate" mail than positive reviews). We required signed
testimony which was available to the petitioner for review with identifying
information blocked out.
Additionally, if you could re-update what you teach etc. (do you have a
vita on-line). I can certainly comment on your contributions to tips but
would like to add some specifics.
Thanks,
linda
