According to the procedures governing the Rank & Tenure process for tenure-line faculty, “Significant scholarly and professional contributions to a candidate’s academic discipline are an essential component of the criteria for tenure. In order to be granted tenure, a candidate must have a record of scholarly contributions that indicates strong potential for further accomplishment.”
Stonehill takes seriously the scholarly and pedagogical development of all faculty members at all stages of their careers. To that end, the College supports a number of professional development opportunities. Faculty members are encouraged to take advantage of the benefits of these opportunities, which are described in this Handbook under the Procedures for Tenure & Promotion, as outlined on the Faculty Resources Guide webpage, and in the following chapter.
