We support Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles' decision to lengthen the timeline for junior faculty members who choose to serve. The amount of time for those who choose to serve as senior tutors will be equal to the amount given to those who don't.
Assistant Dean for Academic Planning and Equal Employment Officer Joseph J. McCarthy says that the trend has continued during the last four years, under the direction of President Neil L. Rudenstine and Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles.
"Superb teaching is not alone enough for tenure in a major research university," Knowles says. "Stellar scholarship is not alone enough."
The elaborate process of tenuring a professor begins when a department gets permission from Knowles to conduct a search, says Marjorie Garber, associate dean of the FAS for affirmative action.
Once the dossier is complete, Knowles appoints an ad hoc committee consisting of two Harvard professors and three outside specialists. Rudenstine chairs all ad hoc tenure committees.
