...probably adopt such a process, but I don’t know that it obviously does,” Saller says.Although Columbia University does put tenure cases through an ad hoc scrutiny, Provost Alan Brinkley agrees that the existence of an ad hoc committee does not seem to significantly affect the quality of the tenure process.Brinkley says rigorous tenure review at the departmental level is the most important part of the tenure process, but central administration processes such as ad hoc committees force the departments to take their cases seriously in anticipation of higher-level review.“They?...
