II. Basis of Department Chair’s Recommendation
Pursuant to the TAUP Collective Bargaining Agreement 2008 to 2012, Article 11, section D.3, p.20, please be
certain that your recommendation addresses the following:
“Consideration for promotion shall be based primarily on outstanding performance and continuing promise of
outstanding performance as a faculty member. Teaching/instruction and research/scholarship/creative activity
shall be primary in this evaluation. University service, service to the profession/discipline, and discipline-based
community service shall be secondary. The standard of outstanding performance shall be informed by standards
for promotion to the same rank at other national research universities appropriate to the discipline under
consideration. Promotion to any rank, thus, is a recognition of past performance and an assessment that the
faculty member is capable of greater responsibilities and accomplishments throughout the period of his/her
service as a member of the University faculty. Personal and professional integrity are assumed. The ultimate
goal of all tenured appointments is to build the best possible faculty for the University.”
In making your recommendation, you must use the following categories. In doing so, please be sure to do the
following: (a) explain how you reach your recommendation, (b) cite specific evidence and examples to support
your assessment and (c) refer to the consideration of the external reviewers. In making your recommendation,
please also refer to your School/College and/or Departmental Tenure and Promotion Guidelines as well as the
Temple University Guidelines for Review of Promotion & Tenure Files. Please attach additional pages as
necessary.
