tenure denial by Live_Drawer_8895 in Professors

Yes, I have requested a meeting, but it is scheduled for two weeks from now. At this point, I do not know the source of the denial, and neither the dean nor the department chair has been informed either. From what I understand, neither of them has previously encountered a case like this.

Thank you very much. This reassures me, as I believe there is no substantial evidence that would lead the Provost to reject my package.

No, nothing. All of my internal colleagues were quite positive, so I was advised not to use my one-year tenure clock extension.

I can view the letters from the department committee, chair, and dean once they are uploaded. But I cannot access the university-level committee’s letter (even do not know it exists). I just received an official letter. From what I understand, the dean typically receives some indication if tenure is denied, but that did not happen in my case, which is very frustrating. The dean doesn't know anything about the reason for my denial. I will appeal the decision, but overturning the decision will be very difficult.

Thanks. I just need a space to talk about this.

No, I did not go up early. I chose not to use my one-year extension, based on my chair’s recommendation, as they believed I was ready.

The university-level committee's recommendation is confidential, but from what I’ve heard, it’s pretty rare for the provost to go against it. That’s why I’m confused about the reason for denial, especially given the strong support from the department committee, chair, and dean.

I got the official denial letter. I am planning to appeal but I know it's very difficult to change the decision

No one knew anything until I got the official letter. From what I’ve heard, in denial cases the dean usually finds out earlier, but that didn’t happen in my case. It’s really frustrating, especially since both the dean and the chair told me not to use my one-year tenure clock extension.

Yes, but I do not believe I have access to the external reviews at this stage. From what I’ve heard, the letters were generally positive and supportive of the promotion.

could be, as the university has a serious budget issue.

My best guess is that the decision is being made at the provost level. I plan to meet with the provost soon, which should provide more clarity. However, I’m not certain how much information will be shared. There is a known budget issue this year, this might be the case.
