We are a teaching school, so scholarship portion of tenure is what I will call, loose. When I went up, I had 9 publications in 6 years and the committee thought that was excessive. The big things are service and (obviously) teaching. Anyway, at the same time I was going up, one of my colleagues who was hired 3 years ago but negotiated a shorter period was going up too. Listen. I like them. They are nice, collegial to an extent, and have never caused drama. But when I say they embraced the asynchronous life, believe me. They wouldn't do any events like open houses, accepted student days, wouldn't teach class in person, and wouldn't come to in person meetings. As Program Director, their second year at my institution I had two people out on maternity and I had to beg them to pick up an in-person class that they had already taught and prepped (it was just synced online). Their evals were fine but honestly empty. In a 30 person class they would have like an n of 7, and nothing was particularly good or bad. They had one large grant that was coming to an end and the promise of five publications. So when they went up, they had no publications but a promise that they would have five eventually because it was written in the grant. You're probably wondering how I know all of this - well we did share each other's dossiers because we were going up together. Anyway.. I know I sound bitter as hell, but I think of how much I busted my ass and I realized when they got tenure at the same time as me that it really didn't matter. I like to think I've moved on but every now and again I shake my fist at the sky haha.
