Tenure & Promotion

The general criteria for awarding Tenure are a) teaching, b) research and publication, and c) University and community service as determined through the evaluation of faculty performance.  While the relative weight accorded these areas of professorial activity may vary from School to School, excellence should normally be demonstrated in at least two areas. In addition institutional needs and goals shall be considered in the granting of Tenure.  Promotion of Boston University faculty is the result of demonstrated and significant additional attainments after a faculty member has been appointed or last promoted.
