Abstract:: This collection consists of materials from the Advisory Committee on Appointments, Tenure, and Promotions (ATP).
Extent:: .51 Linear Feet 1 document box
Language:: English .
Scope and content:: This collection contains the Advisory Committee on Appointments, Tenure, and Promotions meeting minutes and correspondence between the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC) and other faculty and administrators about nominations for tenure from 1970-1983. This collection also contains correspondence about academic freedom and tenure from 1998-2002, the code of academic freedom and tenure from 2000, and facilty statistics from 1999.
Biographical / historical:: The Advisory Committee on Appointments, Tenure, and Promotions (ATP) advises the President and Provost on academic qualifications of individuals for the purposes of appointment, tenure, promotion and other matters relating to faculty evaluation, recognition and development (Barnard College Faculty Committees website). The tenure process at Barnard College has faced widespread criticism from faculty members over the years. In 2002, the Ad-Hoc Faculty Committee on the Tenure Process was formed to address these issues--the major issue being that Barnard faculty have to go through the tenure process at both Columbia University and Barnard College, while the Columbia University Provost has the final decision of tenure of Barnard faculty.
